Sažetak

In the past few years, activity of ransomware increased. As new variants and families of ransomware are developed, security systems have to keep up. Well designed encryption system is at the heart of ransomware and even a small mistake in the algorithm can break it. This paper analyzes 10 ransomware samples from various families. The goal of the analysis is to describe encryption schemes used in current ransomware. This includes key generation and storage, symmetric and asymmetric ciphers and their chosen implementation.
