Cryptanalysis
What is Cryptanalysis?
The study of analysing and breaking cryptographic systems. Cryptanalysis involves finding weaknesses in the mathematical algorithms or implementation of encryption schemes.

What the standards actually require on cryptanalysis
Requirements naming cryptanalysis across 2 standards, quoted from the control text.
The entity must have a documented policy on encryption and cryptographic controls built on its approved data classification and ICT risk assessment, with rules for encrypting data at rest and in transit, data in use where necessary (or processing it in a separ...
