For example, a shift of 2 would replace all A's with C's, all B's with D's, etc. When the end of the alphabet is reached, the letters are shifted cyclically back to the beginning. Thus, a shift of 2 would replace Y's with A's and Z's with B's. === Shift Cipher Encryption === by Sarah Arpin, Alexis Newton You can use this interact to encrypt a message with a shift cipher. {{{#!sagecell #Last edited 8/7/19 2:45pm pretty_print(html("<h1>Shift Cipher Encryptor</h1>")) print "Put your message inside the provided quotes (with no additional quotes or apostrophes!), and select your desired shift: " @interact def shift_cipher(message = input_box(default='"secrets"', width = 50), shift=slider(0,25,1,3)): A = AlphabeticStrings() S = ShiftCryptosystem(A) message = S.encoding(message) C = S.enciphering(shift, message) print "This is your encrypted text shifted by ",shift,":" print C }}} === Shift Cipher Decryption === by Sarah Arpin, Alexis Newton If you know that your message was encrypted using a shift cipher, you can use the known shift value to decrypt. If this is not known, brute force can be used to get 26 possible decrypted messages. The chi-squared function ranks the brute force results by likelihood according to letter frequency. {{{#!sagecell #Last edited 8/7/19 2:56pm pretty_print(html("<h1>Shift Cipher Decryptor</h1>")) print "Enter the encrypted text in quotes, and enter a guess for the shift amount:" @interact def shift_decrypt(text = input_box('"KL"'), shift_by = input_box(0)): S = ShiftCryptosystem(AlphabeticStrings()) ciphertext = S.encoding(text) decrypt = S.deciphering(shift_by%26,ciphertext) print "If the shift was by", shift_by,", then the original message was:" print decrypt decrypt = S.brute_force(ciphertext) print "These are the possibilities for the plaintext:" print decrypt decrypt = S.brute_force(ciphertext,ranking = "chisquare") print "These are the possibilities ranked by likelihood with the chi-squared function:" print decrypt }}} == Affine Cipher == An affine cipher combines the idea of a shift cipher with a multiplicative cipher. In this particular example, we map consecutive letters of the alphabet to consecutive numbers, starting with A=0 (you can also do this cipher differently, and starting with A=1). The user selects two values, a and b. The value a is the multiplier and must be relatively prime to 26 in order to guarantee that each letter is encoded uniquely. The value b is the addend. Each letter's value is multiplied by a, and the product is added to b. This is then replaced with a new letter, corresponding to the result modulo 26. === Affine Cipher Encryption === by Sarah Arpin, Alexis Newton You can use this interact to encrypt a message with the affine cipher. Notice that the only choices for a can be numbers that are relatively prime to 26. This cipher will encipher a letter m of your message as a*m + b. {{{#!sagecell # Last edited 8/7/2019 2:01pm pretty_print(html("<h1>Affine Cipher Encryptor</h1>")) print "Put your message in between the provided quotes (with no additional quotes or apostrophes!), and select your desired a and b: " @interact def affine_cipher(message = input_box(default='"secrets"', width = 50), a=[1,3,5,7,9,11,15,17,19,21,23], b =[0..25]): A = AlphabeticStrings() S = AffineCryptosystem(A) message = S.encoding(message) C = S.enciphering(a,b, message) print "This is your encrypted text:" print C }}} === Affine Cipher Decryption === by Sarah Arpin, Alexis Newton If you know that your message was encrypted using an affine cipher, you can use the known a and b values to decrypt.

For instance, if A is assigned to F, then all A's in the original message will be substituted with F's in the encrypted message. Brute force or frequency analysis can be used to decrypt a message encrypted with a substitution cipher. {{{#!sagecell }}} == Playfair Cipher == by Catalina Camacho-Navarro Based on code from Alasdair McAndrew at trac.sagemath.org/ticket/8559. A playfair cipher is a special type of substitution cipher in which the plaintext is broken up into two-letter digraphs with some restrictions. Those digraphs are encrypted using a Polybius square, (i.e. a 5x5 grid in which each letter of the alphabet is its own entry with the exception of ij which are placed together). The positions of the letters in the digraph determine how the digraph is encrypted. {{{#!sagecell ##PLAYFAIR CIPHER def change_to_plain_text(pl): plaintext='' for ch in pl: if ch.isalpha(): plaintext+=ch.upper() return plaintext def makePF(word1): #creates 5 x 5 Playfair array beginning with "word" word=change_to_plain_text(word1) alph='ABCDEFGHIKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' pf='' for ch in word: if (ch<>"J") & (pf.find(ch)==-1): # ensures no letter is repeated pf+=ch for ch in alph: if pf.find(ch)==-1: #only uses unused letters from alph pf+=ch PF=[[pf[5*i+j] for j in range(5)] for i in range(5)] return PF def pf_encrypt(di,PF): # encrypts a digraph di with a Playfair array PF for i in range(5): for j in range(5): if PF[i][j]==di[0]: i0=i j0=j if PF[i][j]==di[1]: i1=i j1=j if (i0<>i1) & (j0<>j1): return PF[i0][j1]+PF[i1][j0] if (i0==i1) & (j0<>j1): return PF[i0][(j0+1)%5]+PF[i1][(j1+1)%5] if (i0<>i1) & (j0==j1): return PF[(i0+1)%5][j0]+PF[(i1+1)%5][j1] def insert(ch,str,j): # a helper function: inserts a character "ch" into tmp='' # a string "str" at position j for i in range(j): tmp+=str[i] tmp+=ch for i in range(len(str)-j): tmp+=str[i+j] return tmp def playfair(pl1,word): # encrypts a plaintext "pl" with a Playfair cipher pl=change_to_plain_text(pl1) PF=makePF(word) # using a keyword "word" pl2=makeDG(pl) tmp='' for i in range(len(pl2)//2): tmp+=pf_encrypt(pl2[2*i]+pl2[2*i+1],PF) return tmp def makeDG(str): # creates digraphs with different values from a string "str" tmp=str.replace('J','I') # replace all 'J's with 'I's c=len(tmp) i=0 while (c>0) & (2*i+1<len(tmp)): if tmp[2*i]==tmp[2*i+1]: tmp=insert("X",tmp,2*i+1) c-=1 i+=1 else: c-=2 i+=1 if len(tmp)%2==1: tmp+='X' return tmp pretty_print(html("<h1>Playfair Cipher Encryptor</h1>")) print('Enter your message and the key to construct you polybius square.

For example, E is the most common letter in the English language, so if a piece of encrypted text had many instances of the letter Q, you would guess that Q had been substituted in for E. The next two interacts create a couple of basic tools that could be useful in cracking a substitution cipher. === Letter Frequency Counter === by Rebecca Lauren Miller, Katherine Stange This tool looks at the percentage of appearances of each letter in the input text and plots these percentages. The encrypted input text is a bit strange, but was constructed by Amy Feaver to give a short block text that matched the frequencies of letters in the English language relatively well, to make this message easier to decrypt. {{{#!sagecell #Last Edited 8/8/19 at 2:36pm pretty_print(html("<h1>Frequency Analysis Distribution</h1>")) print "This interact prints a bar graph of the distribution of the letters in the input text.

With the output you will see that some letters were substituted in correctly, and others were not. Usually frequency analysis requires additional work and some trial and error to discover the original message, especially if the input text is not long enough. {{{#!sagecell #Last edited 8/8/19 at 2:54pm pretty_print(html("<h1>Frequency Analysis Decryption Guesser</h1>")) print "Warning: the shorter the input text is, the less accuate the distribution will be." @interact # Initial text is "Greetiiiings my name is Weeegbert Deuce the True Eater of the Toupee.

Using a secret code word, encrypt each letter by shifting it the corresponding letter in the code word. For our default text ‘ SECRETS HI’ we use the code word ‘CAT’. We will breaks up the message into three-letter chunks, because our codeword is three letters. So SEC RET SHI. The standard is that a=0 b=1, c=2,…etc. So S shift by C=2 letters to U. E will shift by A= 0 letters and remain at E. C will shift by T=19 letters to V, and so on. To decrypt the message, simply undo the encryption process. The keyword must be known.

Shift Cipher
The shift cipher is a classical cryptosystem that takes plaintext and shifts it through the alphabet by a given number of letters. For example, a shift of 2 would replace all A's with C's, all B's with D's, etc. When the end of the alphabet is reached, the letters are shifted cyclically back to the beginning. Thus, a shift of 2 would replace Y's with A's and Z's with B's.
Shift Cipher Encryption
by Sarah Arpin, Alexis Newton
You can use this interact to encrypt a message with a shift cipher.
Shift Cipher Decryption
by Sarah Arpin, Alexis Newton
If you know that your message was encrypted using a shift cipher, you can use the known shift value to decrypt. If this is not known, brute force can be used to get 26 possible decrypted messages. The chi-squared function ranks the brute force results by likelihood according to letter frequency.
Affine Cipher
An affine cipher combines the idea of a shift cipher with a multiplicative cipher. In this particular example, we map consecutive letters of the alphabet to consecutive numbers, starting with A=0 (you can also do this cipher differently, and starting with A=1). The user selects two values, a and b. The value a is the multiplier and must be relatively prime to 26 in order to guarantee that each letter is encoded uniquely. The value b is the addend. Each letter's value is multiplied by a, and the product is added to b. This is then replaced with a new letter, corresponding to the result modulo 26.
Affine Cipher Encryption
by Sarah Arpin, Alexis Newton
You can use this interact to encrypt a message with the affine cipher. Notice that the only choices for a can be numbers that are relatively prime to 26. This cipher will encipher a letter m of your message as a*m + b.
Affine Cipher Decryption

If you know that your message was encrypted using an affine cipher, you can use the known a and b values to decrypt. If these are not known, brute force can be used to get a list of possible decrypted messages. The chi-squared function ranks these results by likelihood according to letter frequency.
Substitution Cipher
by Catalina Camacho-Navarro
A substitution cipher encrypts messages by assigning each letter of the alphabet to another letter. For instance, if A is assigned to F, then all A's in the original message will be substituted with F's in the encrypted message. Brute force or frequency analysis can be used to decrypt a message encrypted with a substitution cipher.
Playfair Cipher
by Catalina Camacho-Navarro
Based on code from Alasdair McAndrew at trac.sagemath.org/ticket/8559.
A playfair cipher is a special type of substitution cipher in which the plaintext is broken up into two-letter digraphs with some restrictions. Those digraphs are encrypted using a Polybius square, (i.e. a 5x5 grid in which each letter of the alphabet is its own entry with the exception of ij which are placed together). The positions of the letters in the digraph determine how the digraph is encrypted.
Frequency Analysis Tools
Frequency analysis is a technique for breaking a substitution cipher that is based on the frequencies that letters appear in the English language. For example, E is the most common letter in the English language, so if a piece of encrypted text had many instances of the letter Q, you would guess that Q had been substituted in for E. The next two interacts create a couple of basic tools that could be useful in cracking a substitution cipher.
Letter Frequency Counter
by Rebecca Lauren Miller, Katherine Stange
This tool looks at the percentage of appearances of each letter in the input text and plots these percentages. The encrypted input text is a bit strange, but was constructed by Amy Feaver to give a short block text that matched the frequencies of letters in the English language relatively well, to make this message easier to decrypt.
Frequency Analysis Decryption Guesser
by Rebecca Lauren Miller, Katherine Stange
This interact prints a suggested translation of the input text by matching frequencies of letters in the input to letter frequencies in the English language. With the output you will see that some letters were substituted in correctly, and others were not. Usually frequency analysis requires additional work and some trial and error to discover the original message, especially if the input text is not long enough.
Vigenère Cipher
A Vigenère cipher is an example of a polyalphabetic cipher. Using a secret code word, encrypt each letter by shifting it the corresponding letter in the code word.
For our default text ‘ SECRETS HI’ we use the code word ‘CAT’.
We will breaks up the message into three-letter chunks, because our codeword is three letters. So SEC RET SHI.
The standard is that a=0 b=1, c=2,…etc. So S shift by C=2 letters to U. E will shift by A= 0 letters and remain at E. C will shift by T=19 letters to V, and so on.
To decrypt the message, simply undo the encryption process. The keyword must be known. Cryptography by Simon Rubinstein-Salzedo used as reference.- RLM

RSA
Named for the authors Rivest, Shamir, Aldeman, RSA uses exponentiation and modular arithmetic to encrypt and decrypt messages between two parties. Each of those parties has their own secret and public key. To see how it works, following along while Alice and Babette share a message. -EG
