Use of Black and Rogaway's text

Latest comment: 2 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The initial text was condensed from John Black and Phillip Rogaway's (B&R) article cited. The 2001 paper's ePrint record explicitly displayed "CC BY" and linked to Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International. {{CC-notice}} was added to acknowledge the use.

The following points might be useful:

The example in the text starts with $m = 314159$ but then printed $c_{1} = E_{K} (1999)$ . This typo is fixed in the article text.
The source's interval $[0, 1 0^{6}]$ was retained as written, although the goal most likely was a set of exactly one million values.
B&R state that the Hasty Pudding cipher already used this iteration. The article avoids naming B&R as inventors. B&R later suggested connection to the early-20th-century rotor machines, this was not used.
