Cipher block chaining can help with that, right?

Yup, ECB is a no-go for security!

Wait, are we sure about that? Seems too simple.

I agree, ECB is super weak for that reason.
GA

Definitely ECB mode! Each block is independent.
AL

I’m a bit confused, but I remember that Output Feedback mode also has some vulnerabilities. Still, I lean towards ECB for this question.

I recall practicing a question about encryption modes, and I think ECB was mentioned as being weak. It seems like the right choice here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like Cipher Block Chaining mode is more secure against replay attacks since it uses chaining.

I think it might be Electronic Codebook mode because I remember it doesn't use an initialization vector, which could lead to patterns being repeated.

This question is testing our understanding of how different encryption modes can impact security. I'll need to think carefully about the implications of each mode.

I agree with Jose, Electronic codebook mode makes protocols more susceptible to replay attacks.
NI
