Classical Ciphers
Polyalphabetic Substitution Ciphers
Vigenere Cipher
• Best known, and one of the simplest,
polyalphabetic ciphers
• Using a key and a table, it allow replacing a
letter by another one
• In order to encrypt using Vigenere method, the
easiest way is to have a double entry grid
Vigenere Cipher Encryption
• Locate the first letter of the plaintext message in
the first line of the table and the first letter of the
key on the left column
• The cipher letter is at the intersection
• Continue with the next letter of the plaintext,
and the next letter of the key
• When arrived at the end of the key, go back to
the first letter of the key
Vigenere Cipher Decryption
• To decrypt Vigenere with a double entry table, use the
same grid
• Locate the first letter of the key in the left column, and
locate on the row the first letter of the ciphered
message
• Then go up in the column to read the first letter, it is
the corresponding plain letter
• Continue with the next letters of the message and the
next letters of the key
• When arrived at the end of the key, go back the first
key of the key
