Rainbow Table Attacks and Cryptanalytic Defenses

eSecurity Planet

Cryptanalysts are commonly responsible for penetration testing cryptographic systems like deriving plaintext from the ciphertext. Though hashing algorithms are immune to reverse engineering, including rainbow table attacks, this is only the case with secure policies in place for password databases. What are Cryptanalysts?
