  2. XOR cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher

    For example where denotes the exclusive disjunction (XOR) operation. [2] This operation is sometimes called modulus 2 addition (or subtraction, which is identical). [ 3 ] With this logic, a string of text can be encrypted by applying the bitwise XOR operator to every character using a given key.

  3. Encryption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encryption

    Most applications of encryption protect information only at rest or in transit, leaving sensitive data in clear text and potentially vulnerable to improper disclosure during processing, such as by a cloud service for example. Homomorphic encryption and secure multi-party computation are emerging techniques to compute encrypted data; these ...

  4. Cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cipher

    Another example is given by whole word ciphers, which allow the user to replace an entire word with a symbol or character, much like the way written Japanese utilizes Kanji (meaning Chinese characters in Japanese) characters to supplement the native Japanese characters representing syllables. An example using English language with Kanji could ...

  5. Pigpen cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigpen_cipher

    The pigpen cipher uses graphical symbols assigned according to a key similar to the above diagram. [1]The pigpen cipher (alternatively referred to as the masonic cipher, Freemason's cipher, Rosicrucian cipher, Napoleon cipher, and tic-tac-toe cipher) [2] [3] is a geometric simple substitution cipher, which exchanges letters for symbols which are fragments of a grid.

  6. Substitution cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitution_cipher

    An example pigpen message. Such features make little difference to the security of a scheme, however – at the very least, any set of strange symbols can be transcribed back into an A-Z alphabet and dealt with as normal. In lists and catalogues for salespeople, a very simple encryption is sometimes used to replace numeric digits by letters.

  7. Caesar cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_cipher

    The encryption step performed by a Caesar cipher is often incorporated as part of more complex schemes, such as the Vigenère cipher, and still has modern application in the ROT13 system. As with all single-alphabet substitution ciphers, the Caesar cipher is easily broken and in modern practice offers essentially no communications security .

  8. Aristocrat Cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristocrat_Cipher

    The following example demonstrates the process of encrypting a message using the K2 Aristocrat Cipher, employing the keyword "jumping" and the phrase "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." This particular phrase is often used in cryptographic examples because it is a pangram. This makes it ideal for demonstrating encryption and ...

  9. Cryptogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptogram

    Example cryptogram. When decoded it reads: "Style and structure are the essence of a book; great ideas are hogwash." -Vladimir Nabokov. A cryptogram is a type of puzzle that consists of a short piece of encrypted text. [1] Generally the cipher used to encrypt the text is simple enough that the cryptogram can be solved by hand.
