BLOCK Level Data

The systematic, exhaustive testing of all possible methods that can be used to break a security system. For example, in cryptanalysis, trying all possible keys in the key space to decrypt a ciphertext (PC Magazine, 2019).
Chosen Plaintext Attack
plain text data to be encrypted attempt to decrypt this plain text ad obtain security key
AES block and key lengths
A cryptographic cipher that uses a block length of 128 bits and key lengths of 128, 192, or 256 bits (PC Magazine, 2019).
