Understanding Known Plaintext Attacks in Cybersecurity 🔐

A known plaintext ciphertext, attack occurs when an attacker has access to both the plain text and the corresponding ciphertext. This allows them to analyze the encryption method used and potentially crack the code. For instance, if an attacker knows that the plaintext hello corresponds to the ciphertext if-up, they can use this information to decipher other messages encrypted with the same method.
