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.

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.

=== 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.
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.

A Vigenère cipher is an example of a polyalphabetic cipher. Using a secret codeword as the key, the Vigenère encrypts each letter of a message by shifting it according to the corresponding letter in the key. For example, we will use the key "CAT" to encrypt our default text "secrets hi". To do this the message is first broken up into three-letter chunks, because the key is three letters long, to be "SEC RET SHI". Next each letter of the chunk is shifted by the value of the corresponding letter in the key. The standard shifts are A=0, B=1, C=2, etc. So in our example, S shifts by C=2 letters to U, E shifts by A=0 letters and remains at E, and C shifts by T=19 letters to V. Thus "SECRETSHI" becomes UEVTEMUHB when encrypted. To decrypt the message, simply use the keyword to undo the encryption process. Cryptography by Simon Rubinstein-Salzedo was used as reference for this interact.

== One-Time Pad ==

by Sarah Arpin, Alexis Newton

One-time pad is an encryption method that cannot be cracked. It requires a single-use shared key (known as a one-time pad) the length of the message or longer. In this method, every letter is first converted to numbers using the standard A=0, B=1, C=2, etc. Then each character in the message is multiplied modulo 26 by the number in the corresponding position in the key. This is then converted back to letters to produce the encrypted text.

The Hill cipher requires some basic knowledge of Linear Algebra. In this encryption method, an invertible n x n matrix of integers modulo 26 is used as the key. The message is first converted to numbers and spit into chunks size n. These chunks are then converted to n x 1 vectors and multiplied by the key modulo 26 to produce 1 x n vectors. The integers from these vectors are converted back letters to produce the encrypted text.

=== Hill Cipher Encryption ===

Use this interact to encrypt a message with the Hill cipher. If your message is not a multiple of n, then it will be padded with z's. Be sure to use an invertible matrix so that your message can be decrypted!

This section gives visual representations of the modular arithmetic necessary for RSA, Diffie-Hellman, and El Gamal.


=== Modular Arithmetic Multiplication Table ===

by Rebecca Lauren Miller, Kate Stange

Given a positive integer n, this prints the multiplication mod n. Each entry in this table corresponds to the product of the row number by the column number, modulo n.

=== Discrete Log Problem ===
by Sara Lapan

The discrete logarithm, log(x) with base a, is an integer b such that a^b^ = x. Computing logarithms is computationally difficult, and there are no efficient algorithms known for the worst case scenarios. However, the discrete exponentiation is comparatively simple (for instance, it can be done efficiently using squaring). This asymmetry in complexity has been exploited in constructing cryptographic systems. Typically, it is much easier to solve for x in x = a^b^ (mod m) when a, b, and m are known, than it is to solve for b when x, a, and m are 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

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. 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.

Playfair Encryption

Use this interact to encrypt a message using the playfair cipher.

Playfair Decryption

Frequency Analysis Tools

Frequency analysis is a technique for breaking a substitution cipher that utilizes the frequencies of letters appearing 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 of 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 frequencies of letters in the English language. With the output you will see that some letters were substituted incorrectly, 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 codeword as the key, the Vigenère encrypts each letter of a message by shifting it according to the corresponding letter in the key. For example, we will use the key "CAT" to encrypt our default text "secrets hi". To do this the message is first broken up into three-letter chunks, because the key is three letters long, to be "SEC RET SHI". Next each letter of the chunk is shifted by the value of the corresponding letter in the key. The standard shifts are A=0, B=1, C=2, etc. So in our example, S shifts by C=2 letters to U, E shifts by A=0 letters and remains at E, and C shifts by T=19 letters to V. Thus "SECRETSHI" becomes UEVTEMUHB when encrypted. To decrypt the message, simply use the keyword to undo the encryption process. Cryptography by Simon Rubinstein-Salzedo was used as reference for this interact.

If you used the Vigenère Cipher to encrypt a message, you can use this interact to decrypt by inputting your key and encrypted text.

One-Time Pad

by Sarah Arpin, Alexis Newton

One-time pad is an encryption method that cannot be cracked. It requires a single-use shared key (known as a one-time pad) the length of the message or longer. In this method, every letter is first converted to numbers using the standard A=0, B=1, C=2, etc. Then each character in the message is multiplied modulo 26 by the number in the corresponding position in the key. This is then converted back to letters to produce the encrypted text.

Hill Cipher

The Hill cipher requires some basic knowledge of Linear Algebra. In this encryption method, an invertible n x n matrix of integers modulo 26 is used as the key. The message is first converted to numbers and spit into chunks size n. These chunks are then converted to n x 1 vectors and multiplied by the key modulo 26 to produce 1 x n vectors. The integers from these vectors are converted back letters to produce the encrypted text.

Use this interact to encrypt a message with the Hill cipher. If your message is not a multiple of n, then it will be padded with z's. Be sure to use an invertible matrix so that your message can be decrypted!

Use this interact to decrypt messages encrypted by the Hill cipher. Remember that this only works if the message was encrypted using an invertible matrix as the key!

Modular Arithmetic (Preliminaries for RSA, Diffie-Hellman, El Gamal)

This section gives visual representations of the modular arithmetic necessary for RSA, Diffie-Hellman, and El Gamal.

Modular Arithmetic Multiplication Table

by Rebecca Lauren Miller, Kate Stange

Given a positive integer n, this prints the multiplication mod n. Each entry in this table corresponds to the product of the row number by the column number, modulo n.

Modular Exponentiation

by Rebecca Lauren Miller, Kate Stange

Given a modulus n and a nonnegative exponent a, this displays a graph where each integer between 0 and n-1 is mapped to its a-th power, mod n.

Discrete Log Problem

by Sara Lapan

The discrete logarithm, log(x) with base a, is an integer b such that ab = x. Computing logarithms is computationally difficult, and there are no efficient algorithms known for the worst case scenarios. However, the discrete exponentiation is comparatively simple (for instance, it can be done efficiently using squaring). This asymmetry in complexity has been exploited in constructing cryptographic systems. Typically, it is much easier to solve for x in x = ab (mod m) when a, b, and m are known, than it is to solve for b when x, a, and m are known.

RSA

Named for the authors Rivest, Shamir, and 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.

RSA, From Alice's Perspective
