What are some famous cryptanalysis techniques?

Some famous cryptanalysis techniques include frequency analysis, known-plaintext attack, and differential cryptanalysis.

Can you explain frequency analysis?

Frequency analysis is a method that studies the frequency of letters or groups of letters in a ciphertext to break ciphers.

What about the known-plaintext attack?

A known-plaintext attack occurs when the attacker has access to both the plaintext and its corresponding ciphertext, aiding in decryption.

Are there any modern techniques used today?

Yes, modern techniques include side-channel attacks and quantum cryptanalysis, which exploit physical implementations of cryptographic systems.
