An unbreakable Hill cipher?
Why don't we use a Hill cipher of 100 × 100? Or even bigger? That would be close to unbreakable.
The number of possible keys in a 2 × 2 Hill cipher is 157248. For 100 × 100 the number is beyond limits....

Is a Test Vector feature a Security Hole?
I have a system where a block cipher key (likely AES) is entered via a 'command line' over a serial console, probably as hex. The system has no 'print key' feature, so the key is hopefully 'ingest ...
