I’ve been demoing bit-flipping in AES [here], and where we need to take a character from the plain text and convert them into another letter by flipping some bits. But, what if we want to change the words? For this, we need to take the plaintext message and X-OR with the words we want in order to get a mask that we can XOR the ciphertext with.
