Variante de
análisis criptográfico donde el atacante sólo dispone de texto cifrado.
(I) A cryptanalysis
technique in which the analyst tries to determine the key solely from knowledge
of intercepted cipher text (although the analyst may also know other clues,
such as the cryptographic algorithm, the language in which the plain text was
written, the subject matter of the plain text, and some probable plaintext
words.) [RFC4949:2007]
A form of cryptanalysis
where the cryptanalyst has some ciphertext but nothing else.
