I have ten piece of ciphered texts. I know that they ciphered with a same-length key. Any idea how I can decrypt the ciphertexts? What kind of algorithms should I use? What are the points of taking care of 'XORing' these texts with each other and space character? (text ciphered with the asymmetric key) should we use the frequency analysis?

3$\begingroup$ Welcome to Cryptography Stack Exchange. Your question is missing some details – which encrytion algorithm is in use? If it is some misused one-time-pad, look other questions with that tag. $\endgroup$– Paŭlo EbermannMay 10, 2014 at 12:12

$\begingroup$ first of all i am student in cs and got this take-home. As i said have only ten short ciphered text and also information of those ciphered with the same key...(XOR cipher and a key). That's all. $\endgroup$– firehorseMay 10, 2014 at 19:29

$\begingroup$ You are looking for how to attack one time pad reuse. There is a lot of information already on this site for that. Have a look around. $\endgroup$– mikeazoMay 11, 2014 at 3:31
