Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has done simple examples using something like a
shift cipher (or even a reduced round symmetric cipher) to show example of a
ciphertext, chosen ciphertext, plaintext, ... attack?

I was thinking that a simple example of each of these could go a long way in
helping people get the points.

Does anyone know if something like this has been done (on searching google,
I found all kinds of attacks related to papers for linear differential and
all variants), but just wanted some easy example like those mentioned above.

Any thoughts or pointers appreciated.

Thanks.
