👉 In cryptography, a cipherhood is a property that describes how an encryption algorithm interacts with the plaintext. It can be defined as the degree to which a given ciphertext matches the corresponding plaintext in terms of its key size and complexity. For example, if we have two ciphers A and B, where A uses a 16-bit key and B uses a 32-bit key, then it is said that cipherhood for A is 4 (since 16 bits correspond to 4
