Book Problems
Are they also unbreakable?
- No! why? Niether the plaintext nor the key stream is truly random. Certain key characters will occur with greater frequency than others.
- Frequent plaintext keys will frequently be encoded by the same cipher key.
- This leads to some probabilistic code breaking based on the frequency distribution. (Similar to Ceasar ciphers or other monoalphabetic ciphers)
