CRYPTOGRAPHY AND ENCRYPTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cryptanalysis is used ____
A
to find some insecurity in a cryptographic scheme
B
to increase the speed
C
to encrypt the data
D
to make new ciphers
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: Cryptanalysis is a field of study in which a cryptographic scheme is intentionally tried to breach in order to find flaws and insecurities. It is used to make sure that the scheme is least vulnerable to attacks.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cryptanalysis is the study and process of analyzing and decrypting ciphers, codes, and encrypted text without using the real key. Alternately, we can say it’s the technique of accessing a communication’s plain text content when you don’t have access to the decryption key.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cryptanalysis is the process of studying cryptographic systems to look for weaknesses or leaks of information.

Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation. Cryptanalysis is the process of trying to reverse-engineer a cryptosystem, with the possible goal of uncovering the key used.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cryptography provides for secure communication in the presence of malicious third-parties-known as adversaries. Encryption uses an algorithm and a key to transform an input (i.e., plaintext) into an encrypted output (i.e., ciphertext).
