Shift Cipher
by Sarah Arpin, Alexis Newton
The shift cipher is a classical cryptosystem that takes plaintext and shifts it through the alphabet by a given number of letters. -EG
For example, a shift of 2 would replace all A's with C's, all B's with D's, etc. When you reach the end of the alphabet, 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. -AF
Shift Cipher Encryption
Shift Cipher Decryption
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.
Affine Cipher
by Sarah Arpin, Alexis Newton
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. -AF
Substitution Cipher
by Catalina Camacho-Navarro
A simple cipher to encrypt messages in which each letter is assigned to another letter. Brute force or frequency analysis can be used to decrypt. -EG
Playfair Cipher
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 large chunks of text) 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.

Using a secret code word, encrypt each letter by shifting it the corresponding letter in the code word. -EG

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 Alicia and Bernadette share a message. -EG
