a series of tests in which the numbers of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets in a given volume of blood are counted. CBC also measures hemoglobin content and packed cell volume (hematocrit) of red blood cells, assesses the size and shape of the red blood cells (blood smear), and determines the types and percentages of white blood cells. Components of the complete blood count (hemoglobin, hematocrit, white blood cells, platelets, etc.) can also be tested separately when a doctor wants to monitor a specific condition.

(Cipher Block Chaining) A technique commonly used by encryption algorithms like Data Encryption Standard ( DES) - CBC, where a plain text message is broken into sequential blocks. The first block is encrypted using a given cipher, creating cipher text. That cipher text is used to encrypt the second block of plain text. This pattern continues, with each subsequent block of plain text being encrypted using the cipher text encrypted just before it.

cipher block chaining. A process used to hide patterns of identical blocks of data within a packet. An Initialization Vector (an initial random number) is used as the first random block to encrypt and decrypt a block of data. Different random blocks are used in conjunction with the secret key to encrypt each block.

Cipher block chaining (CBC) is a mode of operation for a block cipher (one in which a sequence of bits are encrypted as a single unit or block with a cipher key applied to the entire block).

See Cipher Block Chaining.

Cipher Block Chaining. A symmetric encryption technique used with block ciphers in which the encryption of each plaintext block depends on the ciphertext of the previous block.

Cipher Block Chaining. A component that requires an initialization vector (IV) to start encryption. The IV is explicitly given in the IPSec packet.

An operation mode for block ciphers, where each plaintext block is XORed with the previous ciphertext block before encryption.

Cipher Block Chaining. An encryption method that protects against block replay attacks by making the encryption of a cipher block dependent on all blocks that precede it; it is designed to make unauthorized decryption incrementally more difficult. Oracle Advanced Security employs outer cipher block chaining because it is more secure than inner cipher block chaining, with no material performance penalty.

cipher block chaining. CBC is a mode in which every plaintext block encrypted with a block cipher is first exclusive-ORed with the previous ciphertext block (or, in the case of the first block, with the initialization vector). For decryption, every block is first decrypted, then exclusive-ORed with the previous ciphertext block (or IV).

Cipher Block Chaining. A block cipher mode, where the previously encrypted block of cipher text is used in the encryption of the current block of plain text. All ciphers currently defined in IPSec use Cipher Block Chaining.

Cipher block chaining. A mode of encryption using 64 or 128 bits of fixed-length blocks where each block of plain text is XORed with the previous cipher text block before being encrypted. See also XOR.
