Data that has encrypted will be kept confidential where the contents of the data are altered, so it does not correspond to the actual data. To be able to read data that has been encrypted earlier required a process called decryption. In the science of cryptography, the data will be safeguarded consists of three main components, that is the message that will be read (plaintext), the keys to perform cryptographic techniques (Key), and a random signal that is unreadable (ciphertext). Testing is done by sending the data in the form of words or sentences by using a secret key. Results of analysis of data from tests performed show that with the incorporation of some algorithm plated confidentiality of information can be safer because it takes several different stages to solve. KeywordS : Algorithm,Cryptography,Decryption, Encryption 1. Overview Cryptography is a science which studies how to keep data or messages remain By rapid growth of communication world, secure when transmitted from the transmitter especially in the field of information such as to the receiver without interference from third data, images, audio or video, we need a parties. According to Bruce Scheiner in his system that can maintain the confidentiality book "Applied Cryptography," cryptography is of such information. Security is a standard the science and art of keeping distributing requirement and becomes essential, the messages to stay safe or secure. secrecy of data requires a security Besides these terms, there is also another mechanism that can deal with the meaning that cryptography is the study of confidentiality of such information ( Solly mathematical techniques that relate to Aryza et al., 2018). aspects of information security such as data Encryption is the process of scrambling confidentiality, data validity, data integrity, method or means of securing the information and authentication of data. (Ikhwan & Rahim, to make such information can not be read 2016) The beginning of cryptography is without any specialized knowledge. understood as the science of hiding Encryption can be used for security purposes, but other techniques are still messages (Aspan & Aryza, 2018), but over needed to make communications secure, the times until today, the notion of mainly to ensure the integrity and cryptography evolved into a science of authentication of a message. This study was mathematical techniques used to solve conducted to analyze a method of security issues such as privacy and encryption-decryption so that it becomes a authentication (Indar Sugiarto, Thiang multi-layered password that aims to improve Thiang, & Timothy Joy Siswanto, 2008). the security of information (Aryza et al., There is four fundamental purpose of the 2018) . science of cryptography is that also the security aspect of information, namely: 2.

  • Slippery Hill-Climbing Technique for Ciphertext-Only Cryptanalysis of Periodic Polyalphabetic Substitution Ciphers
    Slippery hill-climbing technique for ciphertext-only cryptanalysis of periodic polyalphabetic substitution ciphers Thomas Kaeding [email protected] 2019-06-17 to appear in Cryptologia We present a stochastic method for breaking general periodic polyalphabetic substitution ciphers using only the ciphertext and without using any additional constraints that might come from the cipher’s structure. The method employs a hill-climbing algorithm for individual key alphabets, with occasional slipping down the hill. We implement the method with a computer and achieve reliable results for a sufficiently long ciphertext (150 characters per key alphabet). Because no constraints among the key alphabets are used, this method applies to any periodic polyalphabetic substitution cipher. Keywords: periodic polyalphabetic substitution cipher, hill-climbing, slippery hill-climbing, cryptanalysis, Vigenère, Quagmire In a monoalphabetic substitution cipher, each character of the plaintext is encrypted by the same bijective mapping between the standard alphabet (A...Z) and the key alphabet. The key alphabet is simply a permutation of the standard one. A stochastic ciphertext-only attack on the monoalphabetic substitution cipher (Jakobsen 1995) generates a “child” key from a “parent” key by swapping randomly chosen elements. The child replaces the parent if the fitness of the decrypted text improves over its predecessor, where fitness is a measure of how close a text resembles a particular language. This continues until no improvement is seen for a large number of child candidates. The periodic polyalphabetic substitution cipher is a generalization of the monoalphabetic cipher in which there are several key alphabets. During encryption, the choice of key alphabet cycles through them, where the choice of key is given by the position in the text modulo the number of keys.

  • Substitution Ciphers
    Foundations of Computer Security Lecture 40: Substitution Ciphers Dr. Bill Young Department of Computer Sciences University of Texas at Austin Lecture 40: 1 Substitution Ciphers Substitution Ciphers A substitution cipher is one in which each symbol of the plaintext is exchanged for another symbol. If this is done uniformly this is called a monoalphabetic cipher or simple substitution cipher. If different substitutions are made depending on where in the plaintext the symbol occurs, this is called a polyalphabetic substitution. Lecture 40: 2 Substitution Ciphers Simple Substitution A simple substitution cipher is an injection (1-1 mapping) of the alphabet into itself or another alphabet. What is the key? A simple substitution is breakable; we could try all k! mappings from the plaintext to ciphertext alphabets. That’s usually not necessary. Redundancies in the plaintext (letter frequencies, digrams, etc.) are reflected in the ciphertext. Not all substitution ciphers are simple substitution ciphers. Lecture 40: 3 Substitution Ciphers Caesar Cipher The Caesar Cipher is a monoalphabetic cipher in which each letter is replaced in the encryption by another letter a fixed “distance” away in the alphabet. For example, A is replaced by C, B by D, ..., Y by A, Z by B, etc. What is the key? What is the size of the keyspace? Is the algorithm strong? Lecture 40: 4 Substitution Ciphers Vigen`ere Cipher The Vigen`ere Cipher is an example of a polyalphabetic cipher, sometimes called a running key cipher because the key is another text. Start with a key string: “monitors to go to the bathroom” and a plaintext to encrypt: “four score and seven years ago.” Align the two texts, possibly removing spaces: plaintext: fours corea ndsev enyea rsago key: monit orsto gotot hebat hroom ciphertext: rcizl qfkxo trlso lrzet yjoua Then use the letter pairs to look up an encryption in a table (called a Vigen`ere Tableau or tabula recta).

  • Simple Ciphers
    Swenson c02.tex V3 - 01/29/2008 1:07pm Page 1 CHAPTER 1 Simple Ciphers As long as there has been communication, there has been an interest in keeping some of this information confidential. As written messages became more widespread, especially over distances, people learned how susceptible this particular medium is to being somehow compromised: The messages can be easily intercepted, read, destroyed, or modified. Some protective methods were employed, such as sealing a message with a wax seal, which serves to show the communicating parties that the message is genuine and had not been intercepted. This, however, did nothing to actually conceal the contents. This chapter explores some of the simplest methods for obfuscating the contents of communications. Any piece of written communication has some set of symbols that constitute allowed constructs, typically, words, syllables, or other meaningful ideas. Some of the simple methods first used involved simply manipulating this symbol set, which the cryptologic community often calls an alphabet regardless of the origin of the language. Other older tricks involved jumbling up the ordering of the presentation of these symbols. Many of these techniques were in regular use up until a little more than a century ago; it is interesting to note that even though these techniques aren’t sophisticated,COPYRIGHTED newspapers often publish MATERIAL puzzles called cryptograms or cryptoquips employing these cryptographic techniques for readers to solve. Many books have been published that cover the use, history, and cryptanal- ysis of simple substitution and transposition ciphers, which we discuss in this chapter. (For example, some of the resources for this chapter are References [2] and [4].) This chapter is not meant to replace a rigorous study of these techniques, such as is contained in many of these books, but merely to expose the reader to the contrast between older methods of cryptanalysis and newer methods.

  • Substitution Cipher in Cryptography, a Substitution Cipher Is a Method Of
    Substitution 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, mixtures of the above, and so forth. The receiver deciphers the text by performing an inverse substitution. Substitution ciphers can be compared with transposition ciphers. In a transposition cipher, the units of the plaintext are rearranged in a different and usually quite complex order, but the units themselves are left unchanged. By contrast, in a substitution cipher, the units of the plaintext are retained in the same sequence in the ciphertext, but the units themselves are altered. There are a number of different types of substitution cipher. If the cipher operates on single letters, it is termed a simple substitution cipher; a cipher that operates on larger groups of letters is termed polygraphic. A monoalphabetic cipher uses fixed substitution over the entire message, whereas a polyalphabetic cipher uses a number of substitutions at different times in the message, where a unit from the plaintext is mapped to one of several possibilities in the ciphertext and vice-versa.

The applicability of Genetic algorithms for searching the key space of encryption scheme is studied. In Vigenere cipher, g uessing the key size is done by applying Genetic Algorithm. The frequency analysis is used as an essential factor in objective function. Keywords: Polyalphabetic cipher, Vigenere cipher, genetic algorithm . Received May 27, 2006; Accepted August 5, 2006 1. Introduction Cryptanalysis is the process of attempting to recover the plaintext and /or key from a ciphertext. In the Brute Force attack the attacker tries every possible key on a piece of ciphertext until an intelligible translation into plaintext is obtained; it has the disadvantage of high computational complexity. In order to overcome this drawback, the optimization heuristics techniques like Genetic Algorithm (GA) are used. The possibility of Figure 1.
