In contrast to cryptography, physical layer security lacks sound attack methodologies. For the latter domain, we develop the equivalence to known-plaintext attacks. To evaluate the attack's efficacy in theory and practice, we apply our attack and break orthogonal blinding, a scheme to increase the confidentiality of wireless communications.
