Vigenère cipher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Vigenère cipher is a method of encrypting alphabetic text by using a series of different Caesar ciphers based on the letters of a keyword. It is a simple form of polyalphabetic substitution. The...

In Vigenere encryption, the key consists of a period p and a sequence k1,k2,...,kp of Caesar shifts. This given, the plaintext is broken up into successive ...

At first glance the Vigenère Cipher appears to be unbreakable, due to its use of up to 26 different cipher alphabets. Ciphers like this, which use more than one cipher alphabet are known as Polyalphabetic Ciphers.

The Vigenère Cipher is one of the truly great breakthroughs in the development of cryptography. This section explains how the cipher works and why it is so strong compared to all other ciphers that preceded it. The birth of the cipher can be traced back to the work of the Italian genius Leon Alberti.

The Vigenere cipher is a polyalphabetic cipher based on using successively shifted alphabets, a different shifted alphabet for each of the 26 English letters. The procedure is based on the tableau shown in Figure 2 and the use of a keyword.

Vigenere coding is one of the most ancient forms of cryptography. In a Vigenere cipher, messages are encoded by mapping letters to numeric values and adding the plaintext values to the keytext values, modulo the number of letters in the alphabet.

Based on the simpler Vigenere cipher, this uses an alternate tableau. The "Alphabet Key" helps decide the alphabet to use to encrypt and decrypt the message. The "Passphrase" is the code word used to select columns in the tableau.

This cipher was invented in the 16th century, ... For Vigenere ciphertexts, the coincidence index is higher for shifts that are a multiple of the key length than otherwise (can you see why?). The program calculates the first 256 shifts, and finds the shortest length for which all shifts that are a multiple of this length have...
