Explain how Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) operates.

What will be an ideal response?


After being encrypted, each ciphertext block gets "fed back" into the encryption process to encrypt the next plaintext block. Using CBC, each block of plaintext is XORed with the previous block of ciphertext before being encrypted. CBC is also dependent on the previous ciphertext block, making it much more difficult to break.
