Anastasia Malashina, a doctoral student at HSE University, has proposed a new method to assess vulnerabilities in encryption systems. The algorithm is based on a brute-force search of possible options of symbol deciphering. The method was implemented in a special program, part of which has recently been patented. It helps assess encryption systems’ reliability and breach risks in case of data leaks in the case of leaks. It also helps assess the possibility of restoring separate parts of a message without a key in case a vulnerable cipher is used.
