    Edward Larsson's rune cipher resembling that found on the Kensington Runestone.Also includes runically unrelated blackletter writing style and pigpen cipher.. In cryptography, a cipher (or cypher) is an algorithm for performing encryption or decryption—a series of well-defined steps that can be followed as a procedure.

    Reconstruction of the appearance of cyclometer, a device used to break the encryption of the Enigma machine.Based on sketches in Marian Rejewski's memoirs.. Cryptanalysis (from the Greek kryptós, "hidden", and analýein, "to analyze") refers to the process of analyzing information systems in order to understand hidden aspects of the systems. [1]

    The most commonly used encryption cipher suit is AES, [73] as it has hardware acceleration for all x86 based processors that has AES-NI. A close contender is ChaCha20-Poly1305 , which is a stream cipher , however it is commonly used for mobile devices as they are ARM based which does not feature AES-NI instruction set extension.

    In John Le Carre's A Perfect Spy, the protagonist Magnus Pym uses a book cipher based on the German text Simplicissimus. In the book Red Dragon, Hannibal Lecter uses a book code to encrypt a message to the Tooth Fairy killer, with the message containing the home address of Will Graham, who is investigating the case, and the message, "Save ...

  9. Chaotic cryptology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaotic_cryptology

    One of the most important issues for any cryptographic primitive is the security of the system. However, in numerous cases, chaos-based cryptography algorithms are proved insecure. [5] [8] [9] [10] The main issue in many of the cryptanalyzed algorithms is the inadequacy of the chaotic maps implemented in the system. [11] [12]
