1. Examples





1. Vigenere Cipher encoder

Text : ABCD efghi
Key : bcd
Alphabet : abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz


Solution:
The vigenere cipher is a polyalphabetic substitution cipher that encrypts a message using a keyword

Alphabet = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

Letterabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Number012345678910111213141516171819202122232425

Each letter is shifted down based on the key letter
PlaintextABCD efghi
Text Value
(2)
012345678
Key (repeated)bcdb cdbcd
Key Value
(4)
123123123
Addition
(2) + (4) Mod 26
1354687911
CiphertextBDFE gihjl

Plaintext : ABCD efghi
Key : bcd
Ciphertext : BDFE gihjl

2. Vigenere Cipher encoder
