1Four-square cipher — The Four square cipher is a manual symmetric encryption technique. It was invented by famous French cryptographer Felix Delastelle.The technique encrypts pairs of letters ( digraphs ), and thus falls into a category of ciphers known as… …
2cryptology — cryptologist, n. cryptologic /krip tl oj ik/, cryptological, adj. /krip tol euh jee/, n. 1. cryptography. 2. the science and study of cryptanalysis and cryptography. [1635 45; < NL cryptologia. See CRYPTO , LOGY] * * * Introduction …
3Two-square cipher — The Two square cipher is a manual symmetric encryption technique. It was developed to ease the cumbersome nature of the large encryption/decryption matrix used in the four square cipher while still being slightly stronger than the Playfair cipher …
4Hill cipher — Hill s cipher machine, from figure 4 of the patent In classical cryptography, the Hill cipher is a polygraphic substitution cipher based on linear algebra. Invented by Lester S. Hill in 1929, it was the first polygraphic cipher in which it was… …
5Substitution cipher — In cryptography, a substitution cipher is a method of encryption by which units of plaintext are replaced with ciphertext according to a regular system; the units may be single letters (the most common), pairs of letters, triplets of letters,… …
6Rabin cryptosystem — The Rabin cryptosystem is an asymmetric cryptographic technique, whose security, like that of RSA, is related to the difficulty of factorization. However the Rabin cryptosystem has the advantage that the problem on which it relies has been proved …
7Index of coincidence — In cryptography, coincidence counting is the technique (invented by William F. Friedman[1]) of putting two texts side by side and counting the number of times that identical letters appear in the same position in both texts. This count, either as …
8Disk encryption theory — Disk encryption is a special case of data at rest protection when the storage media is a sector addressable device (e.g., a hard disk). This article presents cryptographic aspects of the problem. For discussion of different software packages and… …
9Vigenère cipher — The Vigenère cipher is a method of encrypting alphabetic text by using a series of different Caesar ciphers based on the letters of a keyword. It is a simple form of polyalphabetic substitution.The Vigenère (pronEng|ˌviːdʒɪˈnɛəɹ, veedj ih nair )… …
10Niederreiter cryptosystem — In cryptography, the Niederreiter cryptosystem is a variation of the McEliece Cryptosystem developed in 1986 by Harald Niederreiter [1]. It applies the same idea to the parity check matrix H of a linear code. Niederreiter is equivalent to… …
