Description

RETRACTED - 2026-05-19. This work is formally retracted by the author (Kao, Yao-Kai). Reason: The attack was validated on a single non-randomly selected AES-128 key and does not generalize to arbitrary keys. Testing across 500 random keys showed a rank-1 success rate of approximately 1%, not 100% as originally claimed. The claim of a universal chosen-plaintext attack is unsupported by evidence. No portion of this work should be cited or relied upon.
