Symmetric Key Cryptanalysis

Symmetric key cryptanalysis is the study of attacks against symmetric encryption algorithms (such as DES, AES, and stream ciphers) to evaluate their security and identify weaknesses. Classical techniques include differential cryptanalysis and linear cryptanalysis, which have shaped the design of modern ciphers and remain essential tools for cryptographers assessing algorithm robustness.
