A Review on Combined Attacks on Security Systems

摘要

Cryptology is a combination of both cryptography and cryptanalysis and is extensively used to design security systems related to data, communication and networking domains. The science of secret codes or ciphers and the devices used to create and decipher them is known as Cryptology. On the other hand the science of breaking secret codes to find the plain information is Cryptanalysis. Due to significance of applications of these techniques in wide range of scientific, engineering, technology, social networks and other domains an extensive research is being carried out throughout the world. As the subject is as old as the human evolution the research work in this field is extensive and wide range. The rapid growth in technology over few decades has significantly increased the dimensions of the field. Due to accumulation of the bulk information reviews and surveys help to comprehend the subjects in the relevant areas of the field. In the present review paper a concise review is presented on aspects of various security attacks related to the field of cryptology. The objective of the review is to assimilate the various ideas and techniques that are being used for cryptanalysis for evaluation of security of systems involved in the transmission of data and information. The review will be very much useful in identifying various existing security measures and techniques and their implementation.
