Stream cipher attacks
text:
Stream ciphers, where plaintext bits are combined with a cipher bit stream by an exclusive-or operation (xor), can be very secure if used properly. However, they are vulnerable to attacks if certain precautions are not followed:
- keys must never be used twice
- valid decryption should never be relied on to indicate authenticity
