Abstract:
Sufficiently large files encrypted with the UNIX™ system crypt command can be deciphered in a few hours by algebraic techniques and human interaction. We outline such a decryption method and show it to be applicable to a proposed strengthened algorithm as well. We also discuss the role of encryption in file security.
