Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are
members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical
committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical
activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the
work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee,
ISO/IEC JTC 1.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for
the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject
of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the
Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, SC 27, IT
Security techniques.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO/IEC 10116:2006) and
ISO/IEC 10116:2006/Cor1: 2008, which have been technically revised.
The main technical changes between the third edition and this fourth edition are as follows:
a) the inclusion of padding within the normative scope of ISO/IEC 10116;
b) the inclusion of methods for avoiding ciphertext expansion for CBC, CFB, OFB and CTR modes.

Introduction
This document specifies modes of operation for an n-bit block cipher. These modes provide methods for
encrypting and decrypting data using a block cipher.
This fourth edition of ISO/IEC 10116 specifies five modes of operation:
a) Electronic Codebook (ECB);
b) Cipher Block Chaining (CBC);
c) Cipher Feedback (CFB);
d) Output Feedback (OFB);
e) Counter (CTR).
NOTE Annex C presents figures describing the modes of operation. Annex D provides numerical examples of
the modes of operation.

Information technology — Security techniques — Modes of
operation for an n-bit block cipher
1 Scope
This document establishes five modes of operation for applications of an n-bit block cipher (e.g.
protection of data during transmission or in storage). The defined modes only provide protection of
data confidentiality. Protection of data integrity is not within the scope of this document. Also, most
modes do not protect the confidentiality of message length information.
NOTE 1 Methods for protecting the integrity of data using a block cipher are provided in ISO/IEC 9797-1.
NOTE 2 Methods for simultaneously protecting the confidentiality and integrity of data are provided in
ISO/IEC 19772.
This document specifies the modes of operation and gives recommendations for choosing values of
parameters (as appropriate).
NOTE 3 The modes of operation specified in this document have been assigned object identifiers in accordance
with ISO/IEC 9834. The list of assigned object identifiers is given in Annex A. In applications in which object
identifiers are used, the object identifiers specified in Annex A are to be used in preference to any other object
identifiers that can exist for the mode concerned.
NOTE 4 Annex B contains comments on the properties of each mode and important security guidance.
