Everything about Passive attack
Attempting to break a system solely based upon ciphertext
A passive attack on a cryptosystem is one in which the cryptanalyst cannot interact with any of the parties involved, attempting to break the system solely based upon observed data. This can also include known plaintext attacks where both the plaintext and its corresponding ciphertext are known. Wikipedia →
