Suggested Answer: D

Vigenre

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vigen%C3%A8re_cipher

The Vigenre cipher is a method of encrypting alphabetic text by using a series of interwoven Caesar ciphers, based on the letters of a keyword. It employs a form of polyalphabetic substitution.

First described by Giovan Battista Bellaso in 1553, the cipher is easy to understand and implement, but it resisted all attempts to break it until 1863, three centuries later. This earned it the description le chiffre indchiffrable (French for 'the indecipherable cipher'). Many people have tried to implement encryption schemes that are essentially Vigenre ciphers. In 1863, Friedrich Kasiski was the first to publish a general method of deciphering Vigenre ciphers.

This is clearly about diffusion, not some historical algorithm. D is the way to go, folks.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm leaning towards C - confusion seems to fit the description of the relationship between plaintext and ciphertext.

Ah, the avalanche effect! That's gotta be B. Changes in the plaintext should ripple through the ciphertext.

So, the avalanche effect is an important property in modern encryption algorithms.

Exactly, it helps to ensure that even a small change in the plaintext will result in a completely different ciphertext.

I think it has to do with how small changes in the input can cause drastic changes in the output.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be B) Avalanche because it describes the cascading effect of changes in the plain text.

I agree with Danica, because diffusion ensures that changes in plain text affect multiple characters in the cipher text.
