- Brute force attack [r]: An attempt to break a cipher by trying all possible keys; long enough keys make this impractical. [e]
- Cipher [r]: A means of combining plaintext (of letters or numbers, or bits), using an algorithm that mathematically manipulates the individual elements of plaintext, into ciphertext, a form unintelligible to any recipient that does not know both the algorithm and a randomizing factor called a cryptographic key [e]
- Clandestine human-source intelligence operational techniques [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Cryptanalysis [r]: The sub-field of cryptology which deals with breaking into existing codes and ciphers. [e]
- Cryptography [r]: A field at the intersection of mathematics and computer science that is concerned with the security of information, typically the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of some message. [e]
- History of cryptography [r]: The development, since antiquity, of means of concealing communications from other than the intended recipient [e]
- Radar MASINT [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Random number [r]: A member of a sequence of which the successive values cannot be predicted, produced by measurement of physical phenomena, appropriate algorithms, or a combination of the two [e]
- SIGINT in the Second World War [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Signals intelligence at the start of the Cold War [r]: Signals intelligence technology and history between 1945 and 1954 [e]
- Snake oil (cryptography) [r]: Describes the manufacture and sale of information security products which instill in the consumer a false sense of security, because in reality the product does not make the information any more secure [e]
- Stream cipher [r]: A cipher that encrypts data by mixing it with the output of a pseudorandom number generator controlled by a key; to decrypt, run the same generator with the same key to get the same pseudorandom data, then reverse the mixing step. [e]
- VENONA [r]: A long-running and highly secret collaboration between intelligence agencies of the United States and United Kingdom that involved the cryptanalysis of messages sent by several intelligence agencies of the Soviet Union. [e]
