In the OFB mode, the output of the cryptographic algorithm is fed back into the input of the cryptographic algorithm, and the OFB pattern is not directly encrypted by the cipher algorithm, but by XOR the output of the plaintext packet and cipher algorithm to create the ciphertext grouping, at which point the OFB mode and the CFB mode are very similar, as shown in:
The difference between the OFB mode and the CFB mode is only the input of the cipher algorithm, in the CFB mode, the input of the cipher algorithm is the previous ciphertext grouping, that is, the cipher packet is fed back to the cipher algorithm, and the input of the cipher algorithm is the previous output of the cipher algorithm in OFB mode, which is the output feedback to the cipher algorithm. A grouping is drawn out to compare the CFB mode to the OFB mode, which makes it easy to see the difference:
Advantages of the OFB mode:
1. Clear text mode is hidden
2. Block password conversion to stream mode
3. Data that is smaller than the packet can be encrypted in time
ofb mode. Disadvantages:
1. Not conducive to parallel computing
2. Active attacks on plaintext are possible
3. Error transfer: A clear text unit damage affects multiple units
