Respuesta :
The ciphertext-only attack is the easiest to defend against because the opponent has the least amount of information to work with.
An attack paradigm for cryptanalysis known as a ciphertext-only attack or known ciphertext assault assumes that the attacker has access to just a certain set of ciphertexts.
The ciphertext-only attack is a cryptanalysis attack paradigm that presupposes the attacker has only passive access to the encrypted communication. Only the ciphertexts are known by the attacker; the matching plaintexts are unknown.
Cryptanalysis attack depends on the algorithm's design as well as some general knowledge of the plaintext's properties or examples of plaintext-ciphertext combinations. It takes advantage of the algorithm's properties to try to figure out the key being used or a specific plain
