In the age of computers, he could write a simple program to try all 26 shift possibilities (or 110 if you want to add more symbols) and see if any make intelligible print. You are right, he might not know that, but it would not be very hard to guess that we are using a shift key and see if the message decrypts.
With regards to the knowing we are using a modulus. Repeats of letters in the word are removed, then the cipher alphabet is generated with the keyword matching to A, B, C, etc.
So 22 does not make the message more secure. Keyword cipher is a form of monoalphabetic substitution.A keyword is used as the key, and it determines the letter matchings of the cipher alphabet to the plain alphabet. In theory an interceptor would probably be already trying 26 shift keys. What about the other 4? Also this makes it easier to check. If we have only 22 symbols to use then we can really only encrypt 22 letters. A similar problem arises when we use a smaller modulus. The cipher has been in use since the 1500s, and is also know by the names Masonic Cipher, Napoleonic Cipher, Tic-Tac-Toe Cipher, Pig Pen and Freemason’s Cipher. In other words, rather than using letters of the alphabet, you form words from geometric symbols. We could expand that list, however, the difficulty to guess it only increases linearly.and we have introduced more symbols which may make it more difficult to decrypt at the other end for the intended person. These two lines and the alphabet cipher which follows, appear undated, facing each other on two different and otherwise unused leaves, separating JQA s. What is Pigpen Cipher Pigpen Cipher is a geometrical monoalphabetic substitution cipher. For example with a shift of 1, A would be replaced by B, B would become C, and so on.
When these have been encrypted using Atbash, they become V, G and Z. It's simply a type of substitution cipher, i.e., each letter of a given text is replaced by a letter with a fixed number of positions down the alphabet. The letters of the alphabet are replaced by fragments of a geometrical grid. The most commonly used letters in English are E, T and A. This is also referred to as Tic-Tac-Toe Cipher, and is fairly simple substitution cipher. The encoding replaces each letter with the 1st to 25th next letter. Decoding or Encoding the Atbash Cipher Text that has been encrypted with Atbash is most easily identified using frequency analysis. This cipher rotates (either towards left or right) the letters of the alphabet (A to Z). What symbols will you use to send the text? The reason we use modulus 26 is we are limited to only 26 recognizable symbols to use. Shift Ciphers work by using the modulo operator to encrypt and decrypt. With Atbash, the Affine formula is a b ( m 1), where m is the length of the alphabet.
