    Using these initial guesses, Eve can spot patterns that confirm her choices, such as "that". Moreover, other patterns suggest further guesses. Moreover, other patterns suggest further guesses. " Rtate " might be " state ", which would mean R ~ s .

  3. Unavoidable pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unavoidable_pattern

    A pattern is an unavoidable pattern (also called blocking term) if is unavoidable on any finite alphabet.. If a pattern is unavoidable and not limited to a specific alphabet, then it is unavoidable for any finite alphabet by default.

  4. Letter frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_frequency

    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 ...

  5. String-searching algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String-searching_algorithm

    A basic example of string searching is when the pattern and the searched text are arrays of elements of an alphabet Σ. Σ may be a human language alphabet, for example, the letters A through Z and other applications may use a binary alphabet (Σ = {0,1}) or a DNA alphabet (Σ = {A,C,G,T}) in bioinformatics.

  6. ROT13 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROT13

    The GNU C library, a set of standard routines available for use in computer programming, contains a function—memfrob() [13] —which has a similar purpose to ROT13, although it is intended for use with arbitrary binary data. The function operates by combining each byte with the binary pattern 00101010 using the exclusive or (XOR

  7. Seven-segment display character representations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven-segment_display...

    The following phrases come from a portable media player's seven-segment display. They give a good illustration of an application where a seven-segment display may be sufficient for displaying letters, since the relevant messages are neither critical nor in any significant risk of being misunderstood, much due to the limited number and rigid domain specificity of the messages.

  8. Thompson's construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thompson's_construction

    Then, the number of states of A is 2s − c (linear in the size of E). The number of transitions leaving any state is at most two. Since an NFA of m states and at most e transitions from each state can match a string of length n in time O(emn), a Thompson NFA can do pattern matching in linear time, assuming a fixed-size alphabet. [4] [better ...

  9. Caesar cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_cipher

    The transformation can be represented by aligning two alphabets; the cipher alphabet is the plain alphabet rotated left or right by some number of positions. For instance, here is a Caesar cipher using a left rotation of three places, equivalent to a right shift of 23 (the shift parameter is used as the key):
