History
It was first developed as an attack on an attempted expansion of a block cipher by Diffie and Hellman in 1977.
Diffie and Hellman, however, devised a time-memory tradeoff that could break the scheme in only double the time to break the single-encryption scheme.
In 2011, Bo Zhu and Guang Gong investigate the Multidimensional Meet-in-the-Middle attack and present new attacks on the block ciphers GOST (block cipher), KTANTAN and Hummingbird-2.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“So in accepting the leading of the sentiments, it is not what we believe concerning the immortality of the soul, or the like, but the universal impulse to believe, that is the material circumstance, and is the principal fact in this history of the globe.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“No one is ahead of his time, it is only that the particular variety of creating his time is the one that his contemporaries who are also creating their own time refuse to accept.... For a very long time everybody refuses and then almost without a pause almost everybody accepts. In the history of the refused in the arts and literature the rapidity of the change is always startling.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
