What is the goal of crypt-analysis?
To decrease the transposition functions in a cryptographic algorithm
To increase the substitution functions in a cryptographic algorithm
To determine the strength of an algorithm
To determine the permutations used
Cryptanalysis is the process of trying to reverse-engineer a cryptosystem, with the possible goal of uncovering the key used. Once this key is uncovered, all other messages encrypted with this key can be accessed. Cryptanalysis is carried out by the white hats to test the strength of the algorithm.>>>>>>>>>>>OBSERVATION: The goal of cryptanalysis is to discover the key so that messages can be decrypted without authorization. With this in mind, in my opinion, the best answer in this case would be "To discover the permutations used". I further suggest that white hats testing algorithm strength is to gauge the likely attainment of "the goal of crypto analysis" which is to break the cryptographic system.
