RSA 4096 with AES 256 Encryption Process Using PyCrypto @D.W. Ah I see, thanks. Just to clarify when you use the word "integrity" do you mean ensuring the authenticity of the data and when you use the word "confidentiality" do you mean ensuring that the data is not decrypted? |

RSA 4096 with AES 256 Encryption Process Using PyCrypto @MichaelKjörling Justice states "The CBC IV is not a secret, so long as you never reuse an IV." I am encrypting multiple data sets at any given time, therefore I cannot use the same IV. Do you disagree with not reusing an IV? |

RSA 4096 with AES 256 Encryption Process Using PyCrypto @MichaelKjörling My understanding is that in order to decrypt AES encryption you need to generate the cipher for decryption using the secret key and the IV (I'm using a unique IV and a secret key for different data sets for tighter security). |

RSA 4096 with AES 256 Encryption Process Using PyCrypto @TomLeek Thanks. Just to clarify, would I be correct in saying that integrity checks serve to ensure the authenticity of the data rather than facilitating the strength of the encryption from being broken? |

RSA 4096 with AES 256 Encryption Process Using PyCrypto @BernieWhite Thanks for the response. The data is patient data and therefore needs to be kept highly private. I'm using the PyCrypto module. |

RSA 4096 with AES 256 Encryption Process Using PyCrypto @TomLeek Firstly, thanks for the great response, really appreciate it. I've updated the question that answers some of your questions. It's a case of both :-) The data that is being encrypted/decrypted is quite small so CPU cycles aren't really an issue. Also could you please elaborate on 'integrity check' How would the absence of integrity checks weaken security? |

Are SSL certificates from a CA necessary for secure communication? Thanks for that, it's given me more clarity. |
