In the field of cybersecurity and classical cryptography, the different ways of using a block cipher for encryption are indeed referred to as modes of operation. These modes of operation can be broadly categorized into two main categories: deterministic encryption and probabilistic encryption. However, there is another category known as authenticated encryption, which combines both
