exclusive-OR

Abbreviations / Acronyms / Synonyms:

eXclusive OR
Exclusive OR
Exclusive-or
XOR

Definitions:

  Bitwise logical “exclusive-or”, where 0⊕ 0 = 0, 0⊕ 1 = 1, 1⊕ 0 = 1, and 1⊕ 1 = 0. For example: 01101⊕ 11010 = 10111.
Sources:
NIST SP 800-106 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.
