Talk:Ciphertext stealing
It isn't clear to me what is meant by "in place encrypt", so I'm reverting to the (mostly) prior text. Also, I think that removing note that Meyer describes an incompatible scheme is important. Efnar (talk) 22:29, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Clarity
For me, the first paragraph under General Characteristics was really confusing (as of 11:35 AM GMT 16 FEB 2011).
Perhaps it would be more clear if it were more to the point. "Ordinarily, plaintext padding is used to make P divisible by block size. Ciphertext stealing uses a previous block's cipertext output for padding of the final block. Since this ciphertext will be recovered upon decryption of the final block, it can be removed from transmission of the next to last block." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.87.16.4 (talk) 11:55, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
