Nowadays, cryptology is heavily used to protect stored and transmitted data against malicious attacks, by means of security algorithms. Cryptology comprises cryptography, the design of these algorithms, and cryptanalysis, the analysis of their security.In this thesis, we focus on the cryptanalysis of symmetric encryption algorithms, that is cryptographic algorithms that rely on a secret value shared beforehand between two parties to ensure both encryption and decryption. We present three attacks against symmetric encryption algorithms. The first two cryptanalyses target two high profile candidates of the CAESAR cryptographic competition, the AEZ and NORX algorithms, while the last one targets the Kravatte algorithm, an instance of the Farfa...
