Cryptanalysis Of The Advanced Encription Standard & Skip Jack

Cryptography is a science of the principles and methods used in encryption, a way by which we protect our confidential information from the peering eyes of unauthorized individuals. Cryptanalysis complements cryptography as a study and analysis of the methods used in encryption. In this thesis, we f...
