exclusive-OR

Abbreviation(s) and Synonym(s):

Exclusive OR
Exclusive-or
XOR

Definition(s):

  Exclusive-OR operation.
Source(s):
FIPS 197 under XOR
FIPS 197 under ⊕

  Bitwise logical “exclusive-or”, where 0⊕ 0 = 0, 0⊕ 1 = 1, 1⊕ 0 = 1, and 1⊕ 1 = 0. For example: 01101⊕ 11010 = 10111.

  Bit-wise exclusive-or. A mathematical operation that is defined as: 0⊕ 0 = 0 0⊕ 1 = 1 1⊕ 0 = 1 , and 1⊕ 1 = 0
Source(s):
NIST SP 800-133 [Superseded] under ⊕

  A bitwise logical operation such that 1⊕ 1 = 0, 1⊕ 0 = 1, 0⊕ 0 = 0, and 0⊕ 1 = 1. For example, given a string A = 10 and a string B = 11, then A⊕ B = (1⊕ 1) || (0⊕ 1) = 01.

NIST SP 800-135 Rev. 1 under ⊕

  A XOR B is equivalent to A ⊕ B. See the definition of the bitwise logical operation ⊕ above.
