the __________ algorithm will work against any block encryption cipher and does not depend on any particular property of DES.
A)cipher block chaining
B)meet-in-the-middle attack
C)counter mode attack
D)ciphertext stealing

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The meet-in-the-middle attack is a cryptographic attack that works against any block encryption cipher, not relying on specific properties of any particular cipher like DES. It essentially tries to break a cipher by meeting in the middle of the encryption process, reducing the time needed to break a cipher by trying to find a collision in the encryption process from both ends.
