Cryptanalysis

Cryptanalysis is the academic discipline within classical cryptography that systematically studies methods for identifying weaknesses in cryptographic algorithms to breach their security without knowledge of the key, distinguishing it from other cryptographic research by its focus on deciphering or undermining encrypted systems rather than constructing or validating them.
