Yes , it’s true. In a known-plaintext attack (kpa), the cryptanalyst can only view a small portion of encrypted data, and he or she has no control over what that data might be.

The attacker also has access to one or more pairs of plaintext/ciphertext in a Known Plaintext Attack (KPA). Specifically, consider the scenario where key and plaintext were used to derive the ciphertext (either of which the attacker is trying to find). The attacker is also aware of what are the locations of the output from key encrypting. That is, the assailant is aware of a pair. They might be familiar with further pairings (obtained with the same key).

A straightforward illustration would be if the unencrypted messages had a set expiration date after which they would become publicly available. such as the location of a planned public event. The coordinates are encrypted and kept secret prior to the event. But when the incident occurs, the attacker has discovered the value of the coordinates /plaintext while the coordinates were decrypted (without knowing the key).

In general, a cipher is easier to break the more plaintext/ciphertext pairs that are known.

What is the difference between computer architecture and computer organization?
alukav5142 [94]
The distinction between "computer architecture" and "computer organization" has become very fuzzy, if no completely confused or unusable. Computer architecture was essentially a contract with software stating unambiguously what the hardware does. The architecture was essentially a set of statements of the form "If you execute this instruction (or get an interrupt, etc.), then that is what happens. Computer organization, then, was a usually high-level description of the logic, memory, etc, used to implement that contract: These registers, those data paths, this connection to memory, etc. Programs written to run on a particular computer architecture should always run correctly on that architecture no matter what computer organization (implementation) is used. For example, both Intel and AMD processors have the same X86 architecture, but how the two companies implement that architecture (their computer organizations) is usually very different. The same programs run correctly on both, because the architecture is the same, but they may run at different speeds, because the organizations are different. Likewise, the many companies implementing MIPS, or ARM, or other processors are providing the same architecture - the same programs run correctly on all of them - but have very different high - level organizations inside them.
