Matt, I'd never heard about the light house buoy example. Probably not a BE/AE difference though. ww 16:05, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Disambiguation
There is some conflict between this page and the disambiguation paragraph on Gardening. The disambig calls gardening a known plaintext attack and this page seems to call it a chosen plaintext attack. I don't know enough about the subject area to intelligently edit (or even to be sure tht editing is needed). Are the two terms contradictory? If not, a clearer indication somewhere that a chosen plaintext attack is a type of known plaintext attack might be helpful (unless the truth is another alternative I haven't thought of). - Cafemusique 13:44, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- I've tweaked the Gardening header; it was a chosen plaintext attack (which, I guess, you could view as a subset of known-plaintext attacks — if you can choose the plaintext, you certainly know it, right? — but in practice "known-plaintext" is used with the implication that it's the strongest assumption). — Matt 17:31, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
