    The list of ciphers in this work included both substitution and transposition, and for the first time, a cipher with multiple substitutions for each plaintext letter. Charles Babbage , UK, 19th century mathematician who, about the time of the Crimean War , secretly developed an effective attack against polyalphabetic substitution ciphers.

    Other than this, all the key is contained in the S-boxes. There is a differential attack on 16 rounds of Khufu which can recover the secret key. It requires 2 43 chosen plaintexts and has a 2 43 time complexity (Gilbert and Chauvaud, 1994). 2 32 plaintexts and complexity are required merely to distinguish the cipher from random.

    Off-the-record Messaging (OTR) is a cryptographic protocol that provides encryption for instant messaging conversations. OTR uses a combination of AES symmetric-key algorithm with 128 bits key length, the Diffie–Hellman key exchange with 1536 bits group size, and the SHA-1 hash function.

    Decoding a general linear code, however, is known to be NP-hard, [3] however, and all of the above-mentioned methods have exponential running time. In 2008, Bernstein, Lange, and Peters [ 5 ] described a practical attack on the original McEliece cryptosystem, using the information set decoding method by Stern. [ 11 ]

    The GM cryptosystem is semantically secure based on the assumed intractability of the quadratic residuosity problem modulo a composite N = pq where p, q are large primes.This assumption states that given (x, N) it is difficult to determine whether x is a quadratic residue modulo N (i.e., x = y 2 mod N for some y), when the Jacobi symbol for x is +1.
