Cryptanalysis in a sentence as a noun

That is beyond keeping cryptanalysis techniques secret, which we all assumed they would do and which few really drew any issue with.

Eve doesn't need to specifically break the scheme, just be able to figure out who's using it so she can go apply some lead pipe cryptanalysis [0].

The NSA, working with IBM, also made DES more resistent to differential cryptanalysis, which was not widely understood at the time.

Our Twofish cryptanalysis contest offers a $10K prize for the best negative comments on Twofish that aren't written by the authors.

But direct cryptanalysis attacks, the sort that are abetted by huge data centers in Utah or wherever, aren't the problem.

Many schemes, however, cannot resist coercion attacks where the user is forcibly asked by an attacker to reveal the key. These attacks, known as rubber hose cryptanalysis, are often the easiest way to defeat cryptography.

I don't think this conjecture will lead to practical improvements in cryptography / cryptanalysis, at least not with respect to cryptosystems that are currently widely used.

For one, even if a super-efficient FHE scheme was published tomorrow, it'd probably take at least 6-10 years of powerful, sustained cryptanalysis for the community to trust it.

The US and Israel spent probably hundreds of millions on developing custom frameworks using massive international teams, even implementing cutting-edge cryptanalysis to create the first trojans.

Nobody working in technology laughed about dragnet surveillance or cryptanalysis capabilities or trojan horses.

What amazes and saddens me about this, though, is that I was one of the people who thought that we could draw a line -- the NSA was obviously going to keep its cryptanalysis techniques secret, they probably listened to everything, but the idea that they were actively sabotaging cryptosystems just seemed like to far-fetched a conspiracy theory.
