  • Abstract
    This paper presents results on error probability as related to ciphertext length for masking ciphers. It also estimates minimum ciphertext length for unique decipherment. Two decipherment techniques have been presented. Our analysis indicates that masking ciphers are generally less effective than block ciphers.
