  2. Cipher - Wikipedia

    AES's designer's claim that the common means of modern cipher cryptanalytic attacks are ineffective against AES due to its design structure.[12] Ciphers can be distinguished into two types by the type of input data: block ciphers, which encrypt block of data of fixed size, and; stream ciphers, which encrypt continuous streams of data.

  3. Grille (cryptography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grille_(cryptography)

    In the following examples, two cipher texts contain the same message. They are constructed from the example grille, beginning in the NORTH position, but one is formed by rotating the grille clockwise and the other anticlockwise. The ciphertext is then taken off the grid in horizontal lines - but it could equally be taken off vertically. CLOCKWISE

  4. Aristocrat Cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristocrat_Cipher

    The Aristocrat Cipher is a type of monoalphabetic substitution cipher in which plaintext is replaced with ciphertext and encoded into assorted letters, numbers, and symbols based on a keyword. The formatting of these ciphers generally includes a title, letter frequency, keyword indicators, and the encoder's nom de plume . [ 1 ]

    Again, either joker counts as 27 (53 when using a full deck). Count this many places below that card and take the value of that card as the next value in the keystream. If the card counted to is either joker, ignore it and repeat the keystream algorithm. In this example the top card is 23, so the 24th card, which is 11, determines the keystream ...

  6. Secret decoder ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_decoder_ring

    A secret decoder ring (or secret decoder) is a device that allows one to decode a simple substitution cipher—or to encrypt a message by working in the opposite direction. [ 1 ] As inexpensive toys, secret decoders have often been used as promotional items by retailers, as well as radio and television programs, from the 1930s through to the ...

  7. Code (cryptography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_(cryptography)

    The most obvious and, in principle at least, simplest way of cracking a code is to steal the codebook through bribery, burglary, or raiding parties — procedures sometimes glorified by the phrase "practical cryptography" — and this is a weakness for both codes and ciphers, though codebooks are generally larger and used longer than cipher ...

  8. Simon (cipher) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_(cipher)

    Simon has been criticized for having too small a security margin, i.e. too few rounds between the best attacks and the full cipher, in comparison to more conservative ciphers such as ChaCha20. [14] Ciphers with small security margins are more likely to be broken by future advances in cryptanalysis. Simon's design team counters that there is a ...

  9. Multiple encryption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_encryption

    Picking any two ciphers, if the key used is the same for both, the second cipher could possibly undo the first cipher, partly or entirely. This is true of ciphers where the decryption process is exactly the same as the encryption process (a reciprocal cipher) —the second cipher would completely undo the first.
