Frequently asked questions

What is the Vigenère cipher?

A series of Caesar ciphers with different shifts determined by the letters of a repeating keyword.

How secure is Vigenère?

Much stronger than Caesar but still breakable via Kasiski examination for long ciphertexts. Not suitable for modern security.

What should the key be?

A single word or phrase using only letters (A—Z). Longer keys are harder to crack.
