* If | * If the attacker knows where 16 bytes of zeroes are located in known plaintext with given ciphertext location, he can use AES-ECB with the guessed key on that location. if there is a match of the previous 16 bytes as result, the attacker automatically knows the guessed key is the correct key | ||
