Many modern block ciphers are based on a construction proposed by Horst Feistel. Feistel's construction makes it possible to build invertible functions from other functions that are themselves not invertible.

Famous quotes containing the words construction of and/or construction:

    “No real “vital” character in fiction is altogether a conscious construction of the author. On the contrary, it may be a sort of parasitic growth upon the author’s personality, developing by internal necessity as much as by external addition.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “There’s no art
    To find the mind’s construction in the face:
    He was a gentleman on whom I built
    An absolute trust.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
