| Satire | FROG, n. A reptile with edible legs. The first mention of frogs in profane literature is in Homer's narrative of the war between them and the mice. Skeptical persons have doubted Homer's authorship of the work, but the learned, ingenious and industrious Dr. Schliemann has set the question forever at rest by uncovering the bones of the slain frogs. One of the forms of moral suasion by which Pharaoh was besought to favor the Israelities was a plague of frogs, but Pharaoh, who liked them fricasees, remarked, with truly oriental stoicism, that he could stand it as long as the frogs and the Jews could; so the programme was changed. The frog is a diligent songster, having a good voice but no ear. The libretto of his favorite opera, as written by Aristophanes, is brief, simple and effective -- "brekekex-koax"; the music is apparently by that eminent composer, Richard Wagner. Horses have a frog in each hoof -- a thoughtful provision of nature, enabling them to shine in a hurdle race. Source: Devil's Dictionary | ||

| Wikipedic | FROG follows an innovative design philosophy. Normally a block cipher applies a fixed sequence of primitive mathematical or logical operators (such as additions, XORs, etc) on the plaintext and secret key in order to produce the ciphertext. This sequence of primitive operations is known to the attacker (unless the cipher itself is secret, which is impossible in the context of an encryption standard meant to be used internationally). An attacker uses this knowledge to search for weaknesses in the cipher which may allow the recovery of the plaintext. (references) | ||
