A couple of the better-known unsolved ancient historical scripts are also thrown in, since they tend to come up during any discussion of unsolved codes.
There has also been an attempt to sort this list by "fame", as defined by a loose formula involving the number of times that a particular cipher has been written about, and/or how many hits it pulls up on a moderately-sorted web search.

 Business Fresh : Article 'Ciphertext-only attack'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Nonetheless poor cipher usage or reliance on home-grown proprietary algorithms that have not been subject to thorough scrutiny has resulted in many computer-age encryption systems that are still subject to ciphertext-only attack.
Conventional symmetric ciphers, in which the same key is used to encrypt and decrypt a text, are often vulnerable to this type of attack, for example, differential cryptanalysis of block ciphers.
For a self-synchronizing stream cipher, a chosen ciphertext attack can be useful as the key used to encipher each byte depends on the previous ciphertext.
