Cryptochronological Algorithm

Thursday 20th July 2023

[ /kriptoʊˌkrɒnəˈlɒdʒɪkəl ˈælɡərɪðəm/ ]


noun

A tongue-in-cheek term referring to a mythical encryption algorithm that can accurately predict future cyberattacks and vulnerabilities by analyzing historical security incidents and trends. It humorously plays on the combination of 'crypto' (short for cryptography) and 'chronological' (relating to time).
