In computer science, brute-force search or exhaustive search, also known as generate and test, is a very general problem-solving technique and algorithmic...

In cryptography, a brute-force attack consists of an attacker submitting many passwords or passphrases with the hope of eventually guessing correctly...

mathematical proof Brute-force attack, a cryptanalytic attack Brute-force search, a computer problem-solving technique Brute Force (musician) (born 1940)...

security failure because it's no faster than brute force search, after all, it is the brute force search. Pseudorandom-function advantage Key-recovery...

algorithm, which is a type of brute force search. Backtracking is a depth-first search (in contrast to a breadth-first search), because it will completely...

permutations (ordered combinations) and see which one is cheapest (using brute-force search). The running time for this approach lies within a polynomial factor...

Algorithms for these problems include the basic brute-force search (also called "naïve" or "uninformed" search), and a variety of heuristics that try to exploit...

solution can be verified quickly (namely, in polynomial time) and a brute-force search algorithm can find a solution by trying all possible solutions. The...

Some of these methods are algorithms, while others are heuristics. A brute-force search for a knight's tour is impractical on all but the smallest boards...

by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) in 1998, to perform a brute force search of the Data Encryption Standard (DES) cipher's key space – that is...
