Symmetric-key Algorithm - Security of Symmetric Ciphers

Security of Symmetric Ciphers

Symmetric ciphers have historically been susceptible to known-plaintext attacks, chosen plaintext attacks, differential cryptanalysis and linear cryptanalysis. Careful construction of the functions for each round can greatly reduce the chances of a successful attack.

Famous quotes containing the words security of and/or security:

    “It is hard for those who have never known persecution,
    And who have never known a Christian,
    To believe these tales of Christian persecution.
    It is hard for those who live near a Bank
    To doubt the security of their money.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “To have in general but little feeling, seems to be the only security against feeling too much on any particular occasion.”
