May 30, 2018 at 15:55 comment added Maarten Bodewes No, the key size is separate from the block size and block cipher mode of operation. So it won't change the second part one iota. Of course, if you have at most 2 blocks then you may not distinguish plaintext using identical blocks that easily for CBC. Less data to analyze doesn't help any adversary.
May 30, 2018 at 15:44 comment added Ruan Sunkel Thanks, that makes sense, I would like to narrow it down, dont know if I should ask another question. It is, assume that the data that is encrypted will not exceed the key size. So all plaintexts and ciphertexts will be 32bytes in length, if that makes sense. Will this change the second part of the answer?
