Outer Cipher Block Chaining (CBC)
Outer Cipher Block Chaining or outer-CBC is a technique used to
further strengthen the DES, triple pass DES, and 3DES
algorithms. This technique involves injecting random spoiler
data into the encryption algorithm so that identical blocks of
clear text does not result in the same cipher text even if the same
key is used repeatedly. Therefore, if the clear text string "AT" is
encrypted a thousand times with the same key, the resulting
cipher text would be different each time. This is important since
most file structures and application protocols use identical
header information.
