00:00Electronic Codebook, or ECB, is a basic encryption mode where each block of plaintext is encrypted independently.
00:07This means identical blocks of text will result in the same ciphertext, making it vulnerable to certain attacks.
00:14On the other hand, Cipher Block Chaining, or CBC, XORs each plaintext block with the previous ciphertext block before encryption,
00:23adding complexity and making it more secure.
00:26Remember, in ECB, identical blocks mean identical ciphertext, while in CBC, each block depends on the previous one, enhancing security.
