Abstract :
Cryptanalysis is the study of the methods used to obtain the meaning of encrypted information in a cryptosystem (typically, by finding a secret key) in nontechnical terms, its also called "code breaking" or "cracking the code." Micro-architectural analysis of cryptosystem implementations is a promising and interesting new security research direction that will continue to grow.
