That's a valid point, Ruth. CFB mode does offer some advantages as well.

I believe it could also be Cipher Feedback (CFB) Mode, as it provides a self-synchronizing stream encryption.

I agree with you, Jaime. CBC mode provides confidentiality for payload data.

I see, but I think CFB mode is more commonly used in IPv6 networks for encryption.
