Abstract: In this paper we describe a class of cryptographic guess-and-determine attacks which is based on the notion of a linearizing set. A linearizing set-based ...

An algebraic equation contains one or more letters in it. Each letter in the equation is called a variable. A variable can change in value. We guess at different values for each letter until our ...

Simultaneous equations are two linear equations that can be solved using bar models. By remembering that the same letter will always have the same value we can work out the missing values. To solve ...
