    The California Job Case was a compartmentalized box for printing in the 19th century, sizes corresponding to the commonality of letters. The frequency of letters in text has been studied for use in cryptanalysis, and frequency analysis in particular, dating back to the Arab mathematician al-Kindi (c. AD 801–873 ), who formally developed the method (the ciphers breakable by this technique go ...

  3. Letter frequency effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_frequency_effect

    Letters of high frequency show a significant advantage over letters of low frequency in letter naming, [1] same-different matching, [2] and visual search. [3] Letters of high frequency are recognized faster than letters of low frequency. [4] Appelman and Mayzner (1981) in their re-analysis of the studies concerning letter frequency effect have ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_analysis

    A typical distribution of letters in English language text. Weak ciphers do not sufficiently mask the distribution, and this might be exploited by a cryptanalyst to read the message. In cryptanalysis, frequency analysis (also known as counting letters) is the study of the frequency of letters or groups of letters in a ciphertext.
