Short example sentences

This is identical to the Vigenère except that only 10 alphabets are used, and so the "keyword" is numerical. (19 words)

Simple ciphers were replaced by polyalphabetic substitution ciphers (such as the Vigenère ) which changed the substitution alphabet for every letter. (20 words)

These requirements are rarely understood in practice, and so Vigenère enciphered message security is usually less than might have been. (20 words)

Longer example sentences

As such, even today a Vigenère type cipher should theoretically be difficult to break if mixed alphabets are used in the tableau, if the keyword is random, and if the total length of ciphertext is less than 27.6 times the length of the keyword. (45 words)

During the Crimean War of the 1850s, Babbage broke Vigenère's autokey cipher as well as the much weaker cipher that is called Vigenère cipher today. citation His discovery was kept a military secret, and was not published. (38 words)

As early as 1845, Babbage had solved a cipher that had been posed as a challenge by his nephew Henry Hollier, and in the process, he made a discovery about ciphers that were based on Vigenère tables. (37 words)

In 1863, Friedrich Kasiski published a method (probably discovered secretly and independently before the Crimean War by Charles Babbage ) which enabled the calculation of the length of the keyword in a Vigenère ciphered message.

Simple ciphers were replaced by polyalphabetic substitution ciphers (such as the Vigenère ) which changed the substitution alphabet for every letter.

These requirements are rarely understood in practice, and so Vigenère enciphered message security is usually less than might have been.

The Vigenère cipher uses a Caesar cipher with a different shift at each position in the text; the value of the shift is defined using a repeating keyword.

This is identical to the Vigenère except that only 10 alphabets are used, and so the "keyword" is numerical.
