Block cipher modes used in real life There is a number of block cipher modes, including ECB, CBC, CFB, OFB, CTR and others.
After reading &quot;Serious Cryptography. A Practical Introduction to Modern Encryption&quot; by Jean-Philippe Aumasson, where the author described CFB and OFB as folklore which no one really uses,
I am curious which ones are most commonly used in the real world?
I think the one I come across most often would be CBC.
Would anyone be able to share some stats (which I didn't manage to get to), or make and educated quess?
CTR is the most used one with some additional authentication
