Affine cipher and plaintext attacks, how to find the base modulo?
Well, to start off with, we have:
$$k_1 m_1 + k_2 - n_1 p = c_1$$
$$k_1 m_2 + k_2 - n_2 p = c_2$$
$$k_1 m_3 + k_2 - n_3 p = c_3$$
Where we know $m_1, c_1, m_2, c_2, m_3, c_3$, and we don't know $k_1 …

AES with linear S-Box
does the cipher become entirely affine and hence trivially weak?
Yes; the AES sbox is the only source of nonlinearity (the ShiftRows and MixColumns are linear, and AddRoundKeys for a fixed key is …
