Output Feedback Mode (OFB) is an encryption mode, that builds a synchronous stream-cipher from a block-cipher.

Output Feedback Mode (OFB) makes a block-cipher into a stream cipher by generating a keystream using the block-cipher that is XORed with the plaintext to produce the ciphertext. OFB mode feeds back the raw output of the block-cipher as the next input of the block-cipher to create successive keystream blocks.

See the wikipedia page for more information.

Probability of Repeated Encrypted Block In Output Feedback (OFB) Mode

Is there any probability/chances of repeated encrypted block in Output Feedback (OFB) mode? Is there any existing documentation/studies about that? If it is existing, can you please provide me a link for that documentation, I want to analyze it…
