  1. Vigenére Cipher Kimberly Chiffens & Maria Jannelli

  2. What is it? • Cryptology is the science of securing information • Frenchman Blaise de Vigenerecreated this cipher based on the polyalphabetic substitution based cipher • This particular cipher involves a multiple shift method • The table used (in the background) consists of the alphabet written out 26 times in different rows, each alphabet shifted cyclically to the left compared to the previous alphabet, corresponding to the 26 possible Caesar ciphers

  3. Why and how it works? • It is easy to apply and helps to learn about cryptology • A long key without repeating letters is more secure • Start with plaintext: WhysoseriousLetsputasmileonthatface (35) • Then the person sending the message chooses a keyword and repeats it until it matches the length of the plaintext, for example, the keyword “darkknight” : darkknightdarkknightdarkknightdarkk (35)

  4. Vigenere Table

  5. Demonstration • Example of encryption: • Plaintext = Why so serious lets put a smile on that face Key= darkknightdarkknightdarkknightdarkk Ciphertext= ZHPCYFMXPHXSCODFXAATVMZVOBVZOTWFRMONDSCQ

  6. Demonstration • Example of decryption: • Ciphertext=yclhchvalkctqrly Key= impact Plaintext = go ahead make my day
