  • Ransomware is a malicious software which requires money to decrypt files that were encrypted. As the number of ransomware grows, the encryption process in ransomware has been more sophisticated and the strength of security has been more stronger. As a result, analysis of ransomware becomes more difficult and the number of decryptable ransomware is getting smaller. So, research on encryption process and decryption method of ransomware is necessary. In this paper, we show encryption processes of 5 ransomwares which were revealed in 2019, and analyze whether or not those ransomwares are decryptable.
