Vigenere Cipher

Vigenere Cipher

• The Vigenere cipher is the kind of


polyalphabetic cipher(that the same
plaintext letter is encrypted to a
different Ciphertext letter each
time)
Vigenere Cipher

• It was design by Blaise de Vigenere,


a 16th century French mathematician.

• It was used in the American civil war and


was once believed to be unbreakable.
Vigenere cipher Table
o Consist of 26 rows and 26 column
o 1st row contains the original
alphabets from A – Z
o In each subsequent row the
alphabet is shifted by one letter to
the right.
o All the column are labeled by
alphabets from A to Z
o All the rows are also labeled by
alphabets from A to Z
Encryption With Vigenere Cipher

• Let’s assume that we want to encrypt this


message
• Plaintext PAKISTAN
• Key LOCK
• Ciphertext = ????
Encryption With Vigenere Cipher

• Repeat the letter of key so that the number of letters in


plaintext and key becomes equal
Plaintext P A K I S T A N
Key L O C K L O C K
• Take the first element of plaintext and key , and find the
intersection of row and column
Encryption With Vigenere Cipher
Plaintext P A K I S T A N
Key L O C K L O C K

• Column P and row L intersect


at A, so cipher letter become A.

Ciphertext = A
Encryption With Vigenere Cipher
Plaintext P A K I S T A N
Key L O C K L O C K

• Column A and row O intersect


at O, so cipher letter become O.

Ciphertext = A O
Encryption With Vigenere Cipher
Plaintext P A K I S T A N
Key L O C K L O C K

• Column K and row C intersect


at M, so cipher letter become M.

Ciphertext = A O M
Encryption With Vigenere Cipher
Plaintext P A K I S T A N
Key L O C K L O C K

Ciphertext = A O M S D H C X

So PAKISTAN becomes AOMSDHCX


Decryption With Vigenere Cipher

Ciphertext A O M S D H C X
Key L O C K L O C K
Decryption With Vigenere Cipher
Ciphertext A O M S D H C X
Key L O C K L O C K

• Find the row L and letter


A in row L

Plaintext = P
Decryption With Vigenere Cipher
Ciphertext A O M S D H C X
Key L O C K L O C K

• Find the row O and letter


O in row

Plaintext = PA
Decryption With Vigenere Cipher
Ciphertext A O M S D H C X
Key L O C K L O C K

• Find the row C and letter


M in row

Plaintext = PA K
Decryption With Vigenere Cipher
Ciphertext A O M S D H C X
Key L O C K L O C K

Plaintext = PA KISTAN

So we get PAKISTAN from AOMSDHCX


• PLAINTEXT: HOLIDAY
• KEY:TODAY
• Cipher:acoibtm
