Revision as of 00:39, 17 October 2008
I am thinking of a re-organisation here, along the lines:
- Attacks on the system
- Practical cryptanalysis
- Traffic analysis
- Side channel attacks
- Bypassing authentication
- Guessing secrets
- Dictionary attacks on passwords
- Random number weaknesses
- Small keys
- Attacks on the ciphers
Then the topics we currently have under "Mathematical cryptanalysis".
Things like man-in-the-middle would then turn up in two places, first under "Bypassing authentication" because if you can do that then you don't have to break the actual encryption, and second under "Attacks on the ciphers" for details of attacks on different authentication mechanisms since those details are much the same as other attacks on RSA, block ciphers or whatever.
