Abstract:Cryptographic methods are used worldwide to keep information safe. Monoalphabetic, Polyalphabetic or Polygraphic substitutions, etc., are methods that can make the information secure. Once encrypted, the receiver should be able to understand the message with a given key. If there is no key, the formula called Index of Coincidence (IC) can help deciphering. It narrows down the search for the method used with the result obtained from the IC formula. Using the MATLAB IDE, we will implement the ciphers mentioned above and along with the IC formula, determine the cipher if no key is present. | ||
