Linear cryptanalysis: Linear cryptanalysis is a method for breaking symmetric cryptographic algorithms by creating linear approximations to describe the behavior of the block cipher. By analyzing input and output bits, cryptanalysts can find correlations that may lead to uncovering the secret key. It is a powerful tool for evaluating the strength of encryption algorithms.
