What's a linear cryptanalytic attack?
It's an attack that attempts encryption from one end and decryption from the other.
It's a non-mathematical cryptanalytic attack. Instead of using math, an attacker analyzes other encryption related information, such as the electrical power and time it takes for computing systems to decrypt the targeted data.
It's an attack when an attacker calculates the probability of specific key by using a block algorithm.
It's an attack when an attacker has plaintext and cipher text. They then analyze the encryption of the plaintext to acquire the corresponding cipher text.
It's an attack when an attacker calculates the probability of specific key by using a block algorithm. The more messages an attacker has to analyze, the greater confidence they can have in determining a key. -- Help, the Wikipedia discussion on Linear Cryptanalysis, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_cryptanalysis, does not seem stochastic to me. Quite the contrary, it appears that linear cryptanalysis attempts to construct a suite of linear approximations to determine the keys. It might be a good idea to either rewrite the answer or drop the question altogether.
