Which kind of attack on cryptosystems involves using a collection of pre-identified terms?
The kind of attack you are referring to is known as a known-plaintext attack. In this type of attack, the attacker has access to both the plaintext and the corresponding ciphertext, and the goal is to deduce the encryption key or algorithm used. By analyzing the patterns or relationships between the known plaintext and ciphertext, the attacker can potentially uncover vulnerabilities in the cryptosystem.
What are 3 basic operations of cryptography?
The three basic operations of cryptography are encryption, decryption, and hashing. Encryption transforms plaintext into ciphertext to protect data from unauthorized access, while decryption reverses this process, converting ciphertext back into readable plaintext. Hashing creates a fixed-size string of characters from input data, ensuring data integrity by allowing verification without revealing the original data. These operations work together to secure communication and protect sensitive information.
What is another word for cryptography?
Another word for cryptography is "encryption." Both terms refer to the practice of encoding information to protect it from unauthorized access. While cryptography encompasses the broader field of techniques for secure communication, encryption specifically refers to the process of converting plaintext into ciphertext.
Does a substitution need to be permutation of plain text symbols?
No. A substitution can be to an entirely different alphabet. (As an example, read the Arthur Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes "Case of the Dancing men.") One plaintext symbol can convert to several ciphertext symbols, or vice versa. For example, Morse code is a form of substitution of alphabetic letters to dots and dashes. Two plaintext characters could map the same ciphertext character as long as the recipient could distinguish between the two.

Is a process of converting plaintext into ciphertext to prevent unauthorized access?
The process of converting plaintext into ciphertext is called encryption.Once encrypted, only trusted recipients (those who have a copy of the public encryption key) can revert the process and recover the plain text.A related process is called authentication. It is used by the trusted recipient to ensure that the plain text was recovered correctly, since the wrong key will seemingly successfully decrypt the cypher into meaningless data.Encryption and authentication are almost always used together.
What is Plaintext?
Plaintext is easily readable or, to be more accurate, decrypted/unencrypted text. This is opposed to ciphertext, which is encrypted. If you used an encryption algorithm to encode your message of "Hello, there" to "4hgu28fhdjf83291". The plaintext form would be: "Hello, there" The ciphertext form would be: "4hgu28fhdjf83291"
What is a secure encryption?
Encryption is a process of translating a message from the Plaintext, into an encoded message, called the Ciphertext. This is usually accomplished using a secret Encryption Key and a cryptographic Cipher. ss of translating a message, called the Plaintext, into an encoded message, called the Ciphertext. This is usually accomplished using a secret Encryption Key and a cryptographic Cipher.
What is a CBC residue?
The last ciphertext block of the previous record. It is is sometimes xor'd with the plaintext of the next record to ensure duplicate plaintext does not encrypt to duplicate cipher text.
Why are there 26 possible mappings of a plaintext alphabet to ciphertext alphabet?
because 26 the number of English character
What is the difference between diffusion and confusion?
In diffusion, the statistical structure of the plaintext is dissipated into long-range statistics of the ciphertext. This is achieved by having each plaintext digit affect the value of many ciphertext digits, which is equivalent to saying that each ciphertext digit is affected by many plaintext digits. Confusion seeks to make the relationship between the statistics of the ciphertext and the value of the encryption key as complex as possible, again to thwart attempts to discover the key. Thus, even if the attacker can get some handle on the statistics of the ciphertext, the way in which the key was used to produce that ciphertext is so complex as to make it difficult to deduce the key. This is achieved by the use of a complex substitution algorithm.

A cipher is called symmetric if it takes just as much computing time to encrypt a plaintext as it does to decrypt a ciphertext?
A symmetric cipher means that the key is the same for scrambling and unscrambling the data. Symmetric = same
Could the ciphertext JOHN A1 be a valid ciphertext for the plaintext JOSE C1?
Of course it COULD be. Even a simple substitution cipher could be used to generate the given ciphertext from the given plaintext since they both have the same number of characters. Whether or not it actually IS a valid ciphertext depends on the algorithm used to encrypt it.
This is another word for code and is a way to transform text in order to conceal meaning?
Ciphertext is the other word for code or encoded text in information security. The process of converting ciphertext back to plain text is called decryption.
