Anastasia Malashina, a doctoral student at HSE University, has proposed a new method to assess vulnerabilities in encryption systems, which is based on a brute-force search of possible options of symbol deciphering.

To avoid hacks, it is necessary to reinforce the cipher protection from leaks and to test encryption systems for vulnerabilities.

That's why stream ciphering systems need to be pre-tested for vulnerabilities.

To find vulnerabilities, she used a method that helps assess the possibility of restoring separate parts of a message without a key, in case a vulnerable cipher is used or there is a leak in the communication channel.

In case the initial cipher has a vulnerability, this method helps detect it.

This program helps assess encryption systems' reliability and breach risks in case of data leaks.
