What is cryptanalysis?

What will be an ideal response?

As long as people attempt to create encryption algorithms to protect data, others will endeavor to break those encryption algorithms. This study is called cryptanalysis. It's taught in universities and by government organizations, but hackers also find the challenge of breaking an encryption algorithm intriguing and continue to push the envelope for developers of encryption algorithms. When a new encryption algorithm is developed, cryptanalysis is performed on it to ensure that breaking the code is impossible or would take so much time and so many resources to break that it would be impractical for hackers to attempt.

Visit SCR's data library to review SCR's network configuration and then send Jesse a recommendation for the TIMS system architecture. She wants me to suggest an overall client/server design, number of tiers, and network topology. She also asked me to comment on these issues: legacy data, Web-centricity, scalability, security, and batch processing that might be needed. Jesse said it was OK to make reasonable assumptions in my proposal to her.
