CNSSI 4009

Cryptanalysis - Operations performed in converting encrypted messages to plain text without initial knowledge of the crypto- algorithm and/or key employed in the encryption.

DoD 5200.1-R

Cryptanalysis - The analysis of encrypted messages; the steps or processes involved in converting encrypted messages into plain text without initial knowledge of the system of key employed in the encryption. AP2.1.21.

DSS Glossary

Cryptanalysis - Operations performed in converting encrypted messages to plain text without initial knowledge of the crypto- algorithm and/or key employed in the encryption.

NIST IR 7298

Cryptanalysis - 1) Operations performed in defeating cryptographic protection without an initial knowledge of the key employed in providing the protection.

2) The study of mathematical techniques for attempting to defeat cryptographic techniques and information system security. This includes the process of looking for errors or weaknesses in the implementation of an algorithm or of the algorithm itself. SOURCE: SP 800-57
