Known-plaintext attack

Attack model for cryptanalysis with access to both plaintext and ciphertext

The known-plaintext attack (KPA) is an attack model for cryptanalysis where the attacker has access to both the plaintext and its encrypted version (ciphertext). These can be used to reveal secret keys and code books. The term "crib" originated at Bletchley Park, the British World War II decryption operation, where it was defined as:A plain language passage of any length, usually obtained by solving one or more cipher or code messages, and occurring or believed likely to occur in a different cipher or code message, which it may provide a means of solving.
