Many Time Pad
Let us see what goes wrong when a stream cipher key is used more than once. Below are eleven hex-encoded ciphertexts that are the result of encrypting eleven plaintexts with a stream cipher, all with the same stream cipher key. Your goal is to decrypt the last ciphertext, and submit the secret message within it as solution.
Hint: XOR the ciphertexts together, and consider what happens when a space is XORed with a character in [a-zA-Z].

target ciphertext (decrypt this one):
32510ba9babebbbefd001547a810e67149caee11d945cd7fc81a05e9f85aac650e9052ba6a8cd8257bf14d13e6f0a803b54fde9e77472dbff89d71b57bddef121336cb85ccb8f3315f4b52e301d16e9f52f904
根据提示,一个小写字母的ascii码值和一个空格的ascii异或,结果会得到这个字母的大写。
比如,a(01100001)^ space(001000000) = A
又因为,每一个ciphertext都是用相同的key加密的。因此,假设明文分别为m1、m2,那么c1 = m1 ^ k, c2 = m2 ^ k,于是c1 ^ c2= m1 ^ k ^ m2 ^ k = m1 ^ m2。这样我们就把k消去,只剩下了m1和m2。
目前我们拥有10段密文,如果我们能知道这10段明文中,每一段的哪几个位置代表着空格,再把这个位置与目标密文进行异或,就可以得到目标密文的明文了。
举个例子:
给出一段密文32510ba9babe。已知了第三第四位,即51,代表着一个空格。
那么给一段用相同key加密的密文466d06ece998b,用51和这段密文的第三第四位6d进行异或,就可以得到一个明文了。
于是问题就变成了,如何找到这十段密文中,哪些位置是空格。找到再把它们与目标密文的相同位置进行异或,问题迎刃而解。
如何找到这十段密文中,哪些位置是空格?首先我们要知道,这里每两个16进制字符代表明文的一个字符。我们把10段密文的每一段进行两个两个划分,然后与剩余9个密文的相同位置进行异或,如果异或出来结果大部分都是字母,则说明了这个位置极有可能是个空格。在我的算法中,规定了每个位置与剩余9个位置异或,如果异或结果为字母的个数大于5个,则标记为这个位置是空格。最后把标记的位置,与目标密文中相同的位置进行异或,就可以得到目标密文这个位置的明文了。
这个代码有些暴力,没有进行后续优化。但是由于数据量小,还是很快就能出结果的。

意思很明显,使用流密码时候,不要用同一个key加密多个明文
