    A backdoor is a typically covert method of bypassing normal authentication or encryption in a computer, product, embedded device (e.g. a home router), or its embodiment (e.g. part of a cryptosystem, algorithm, chipset, or even a "homunculus computer"—a tiny computer-within-a-computer such as that found in Intel's AMT technology).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute-force_attack

    An example of this is one-time pad cryptography, where every cleartext bit has a corresponding key from a truly random sequence of key bits.

  8. Cold boot attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_boot_attack

    A common purpose of cold boot attacks is to circumvent software-based disk encryption. Cold boot attacks when used in conjunction with key finding attacks have been demonstrated to be an effective means of circumventing full disk encryption schemes of various vendors and operating systems, even where a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) secure cryptoprocessor is used.

  9. Cross-site request forgery - Wikipedia
