To crack a symmetric system, an attacker needs at least the secret or private key and the algorithm. These two items run against the cipher text to decrypt it into plain text. An attack using only the cipher text, as you describe, is called a cipher text-only attack.
However, the job is easier, if the attacker captures the private key – a cinch to grab off the wire if it's sent openly over the Internet. In a cipher text only attack, the code is cracked. That means trial and error, looking for patterns that can be exploited and translated back into plaintext. Essentially, the attacker tries to guess the private key that will unlock the code and then tries to encrypt text with the guessed private key and continues this process until the encrypted text matches what the attacker already possesses.

Modern systems can only be created by computers that are able to generate the amount of combinations required to create complex codes. Then, these codes can only be cracked by other computers able to match their wits in the number of keys they can generate to try to crack the code. That is why key length is crucial in determining whether or not a code can be cracked.
Irdeto was the inventor of whitebox cryptography and its Cloakware solutions. A security breach or a serious hack can be devastating to a company's brand. Download Edition 2: August 2018. From its dedicated, secure production facilities, Irdeto removes the burden of ongoing security operations and key management. Aug 7, 2018 - Irdeto is partnering with Indentive to secure its home IoT platform, Connective. The home gateway device, five sensors, two wall plugs and one door sensor. Code and data transformations, whitebox cryptography and other technologies. Renewability, diversity and secure key management are crucial.
Even with high-speed computers, the time it takes to crack a code depends on the length of the key, which increases the strength of encryption. It can mean the difference between hours with a shorter key of 20 bits, or years with a 128-bit key, which means the code for practical purposes is unbreakable. Another way to crack a code is the known plain text approach. In this method, the attacker has copies of both the cipher text and the corresponding plain text from which it was derived. The attacker has a direct translation to work with and two related pieces of text that make it easier for a computer to churn into keys for unlocking the code.
