Yep, they've been doing that for centuries. With a polyalphabetic cipher, each time a letter occurs in the plain text, a different letter is used in the cipher text. This makes it impossible to use the statistical methods used with monoalphabetic ciphers, where a plain text letter always has the same cipher text letter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyalphabetic_cipher --- Talk Mailing List [email protected] https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
