"Cryptanalysis is the science of analyzing cryptographic methods and algorithms, generally probing them for weaknesses. Cryptanalysts devise new methods of defeating cryptographic algorithms." (Michael Coles & Rodney Landrum, , "Expert SQL Server 2008 Encryption", 2008)
"The science (or art) of breaking cryptographic algorithms." (Mark S Merkow & Lakshmikanth Raghavan, "Secure and Resilient Software Development", 2010)
"The study of mathematical techniques designed to defeat cryptographic techniques. Collectively, a branch of science that deals with cryptography and cryptanalysis is called cryptology. " (Alex Berson & Lawrence Dubov, "Master Data Management and Data Governance", 2010)
"The art of breaking ciphertext." (Manish Agrawal, "Information Security and IT Risk Management", 2014)
"Practice of uncovering flaws within cryptosystems." (Adam Gordon, "Official (ISC)2 Guide to the CISSP CBK" 4th Ed., 2015)
"The process of decrypting a message without knowing the cipher or key used to encrypt it" (Nell Dale & John Lewis, "Computer Science Illuminated" 6th Ed., 2015)
"The practice of breaking cryptosystems and algorithms used in encryption and decryption processes." (Shon Harris & Fernando Maymi, "CISSP All-in-One Exam Guide" 8th Ed., 2018)
"The process of breaking encryption without the benefit of the key under which data was encrypted." (O Sami Saydjari, "Engineering Trustworthy Systems: Get Cybersecurity Design Right the First Time", 2018)
"Cryptanalysis refers to the study of the cryptosystem or ciphertext to crack the confidentiality of the underlying information and try to gain unauthorized access to the content." (Shafali Agarwal, "Preserving Information Security Using Fractal-Based Cryptosystem", Handbook of Research on Cyber Crime and Information Privacy, 2021)
