👉 A cryptometer is a device that measures the strength of a cryptographic key by analyzing the frequency and duration of transmitted data. It is typically used in security applications to detect attacks or unauthorized access attempts to a network's encryption keys. Cryptometrics are often used in conjunction with other security measures such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and antivirus software to protect against potential threats like brute force attacks, SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and more.
