What are the implications of false positives in brute-force attacks, and how can multiple plaintext-ciphertext pairs help mitigate this issue?

Wednesday, 12 June 2024 by EITCA Academy

In the realm of cybersecurity, particularly within the context of classical cryptography and private-key cryptography, the implications of false positives in brute-force attacks are of significant concern. A false positive in this scenario refers to an incorrect identification of a key as the correct decryption key when, in fact, it is not. This occurrence can
