Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Vigenère cipher?
The Vigenère cipher is a method of encrypting alphabetic text by using a series of interwoven Caesar ciphers based on the letters of a secret keyword.
Why is Vigenère stronger than a simple Caesar cipher?
Because it uses multiple shift values (one for each letter in the keyword), it resists simple frequency analysis that easily breaks monoalphabetic ciphers.
