This isn't true at all.
- mSparks43 9y agoaside from aes and its varients, which of the other thousands of crypto systems arent vulnerable to it?
- benchaney 9y agoNone of the other AES finalists were vulnerable to known plaintexts attacks. Neither is 3-DES or chacha20. DES and RC4 are now considered insecure, but in their day they were resistant known plaintext attacks as well. Other than some toy examples, and cryptosystems that were used before cryptography was studied academically, I can't think of any that are vulnerable to known plaintext attacks.
