| contents | This paper revisits the classical notion of unicity distance from an enlightening perspective grounded in information theory, specifically by framing the encryption process as a noisy transmission channel. Using results from reliable communication theory, we derive a simple information-theoretic proof of the same unicity distance formula as in Shannon's classical result and a channel transmission interpretation of the unicity distance. |
