1. cryptanalysis

   Cryptanalysis is the study and process of analyzing, deciphering or breaking cryptographic systems and codes, typically with the intention of accessing the encrypted information, understanding how the encryption works or finding weaknesses in the encryption method. It is often used in cybersecurity to test the robustness of cryptographic systems, or by hackers attempting to gain unauthorized access to encrypted data.

1. Cryptanalysis

   Cryptanalysis is the art and science of analyzing information systems in order to study the hidden aspects of the systems. Cryptanalysis is used to breach cryptographic security systems and gain access to the contents of encrypted messages, even if the cryptographic key is unknown. In addition to mathematical analysis of cryptographic algorithms, cryptanalysis also includes the study of side-channel attacks that do not target weaknesses in the cryptographic algorithms themselves, but instead exploit weaknesses in their implementation. Even though the goal has been the same, the methods and techniques of cryptanalysis have changed drastically through the history of cryptography, adapting to increasing cryptographic complexity, ranging from the pen-and-paper methods of the past, through machines like Bombes and Colossus computers at Bletchley Park in World War II, to the mathematically advanced computerized schemes of the present. Methods for breaking modern cryptosystems often involve solving carefully constructed problems in pure mathematics, the best-known being integer factorization.
