The secret prefix and secret suffix methods are two commonly used techniques for constructing Message Authentication Codes (MACs) in classical cryptography. While these methods have their advantages, they also possess certain weaknesses that need to be considered when implementing MACs. In this answer, we will explore the weaknesses of both the secret prefix and secret
