[PATCH v2 7/7] i440fx: add an iommu[PATCH v2 7/7] i440fx: add an iommuPosted Nov 2, 2012 0:15 UTC (Fri) by vonbrand (subscriber, #4458)Parent article: [PATCH v2 7/7] i440fx: add an iommu
Several rounds of XOR are equivalent to one round of XOR... get two messages XORed to the same key, you have the XOR of the messages. Know some bits of the message, you get the bits of the key.

You may have discovered the joke.

Don't laugh so loudly, that's an attempt at a variant of Shannon's perfect cipher after all. Hey, not everyone can afford an infinite key length!
Okay, while we are on savings, we could equivalently save the XOR step and not do any enc^D^D^D scrambling at all for an even cheaper, faster and nearly as (un)secure variant...
