____ attacks are a collection of brute-force methods that attempt to deduce statistical relationships between the structure of the unknown key and the ciphertext that is the output of the cryptosystem.
A)Timing
B)Dictionary
C)Correlation
D)Man-in-the-middle

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Correlation attacks rely on analyzing the statistical correlation between the unknown key and the ciphertext to deduce information about the key. Timing attacks involve measuring the time taken by a cryptosystem to perform operations and using this information to deduce the key. Dictionary attacks involve trying a large number of possible keys from a dictionary or other list. Man-in-the-middle attacks involve intercepting and altering communications between two parties.
