What must occur in order for a cipher to be considered 'broken'?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Finding any method that is more efficient than brute force

Bruce Schneier notes that even computationally impractical attacks can be considered breaks: 'Breaking a cipher simply means finding a weakness in the cipher that can be exploited with a complexity less than brute force.'

Totally agree, if it's no longer usable, it's broken for sure!

Wait, can a cipher be broken without decoding the key?

Definitely, finding a better method than brute force counts as broken.

I think uncovering the algorithm is key too.

I think rendering the cipher unusable is a strong point, but I’m not entirely convinced that’s the only way to define it. It feels like there are multiple angles to consider.

I feel like uncovering the algorithm is important, but it might not be enough on its own. I wonder if there's a specific definition we need to remember.

I remember a practice question about breaking ciphers, and I think it had to do with finding a more efficient method than brute force. That might be what they mean by 'broken.'

I think a cipher is considered broken when you can decode it without the key, but I'm not sure if that means just finding the key or something else.

This looks like a straightforward question about identifying the applications that are part of Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise. I'm pretty confident I can get this right.

I think it's 'All of the above' - a good fraud risk management program should cover prevention, mitigation, and consequences.

Hmm, I'm a little confused. Do I need to do anything special to save the theme file in the default location? I want to make sure I get this right.
