Cryptology is the study of codes, the art of writing and solving them.
Cryptography is the art of writing codes, and cryptanalysis is the art of breaking them.
The Enigma machine was an encryption device used by the Nazis.
There were many different types of codes used during World War 2. The most notable ones would be the Enigma Machine, PURPLE, and the Navajo code.
Cryptography is basically the art of writing codes.
With cryptography, you can pass on messages via the public but only allow your intended recipient to understand it.
This is a diagram explaining the process of cryptography. Alice is the sender, Bob is the recipient, and Eve is the adversary, someone who is trying to intercept and understand the message.
Alice creates a key applies it to her text, and sends the ciphertext to Bob publicly. Eve intercepts it, but is unable to understand it because she does not have the key. When Bob receives the ciphertext, he applies the key to it which leaves him with the original text.
Cryptanalysis is the art of breaking codes without the key.
Cryptanalysis would useful for Eve, an adversary. She does not have the key, but with cryptanalysis, she can understand the code anyways.
Cryptanalysis is basically finding the weaknesses and insecurities in a key. One way of doing this is a brute force attack.
Brute force attack is try-and-error strategy. You break the code by trying every single possibility. This is normally done only when there are no weaknesses in the code to be found because brute force attacking takes a long time.
