Encryption

For a "perfect" encryption algorithm, what is the probability an attacker can guess an arbitrary bit in the plain text given a set of k cipher text?

how big is the algorithm?
Sounds like homework...
1st: What do you mean by "perfect" alghoritm - usually, regarding encryption, there are two basic approaches (and some derivations): shared key encryption and public encryption ?
2nd: What are you talking about - is it about Digital Signatures?

Cheers.

I am studying XOR's and mod'ing algorithms.  I am just wondering if anyone already knows what probabilities are w/ existing technologies (block ciphers, and stream ciphers using symetric cryptography).

i could crunch that in 1 day, plain text is far from perfect :D (pun intended)
