The Scream cipher is a word based stream cipher developed by Shai Halevi , Don Coppersmith and Charanjit Jutla from IBM . The cipher is designed as a software efficient stream cipher. The authors describe the goal of the cipher to be a more secure version of the SEAL cipher SEAL cipher. The general design of Scream is close to the design of SEAL with block cipher like round functions. There are two versions of Scream. One of them, Scream F , reuses the S box es from the Advanced Encryption Standard AES block cipher, while the other, Scream , internally generates new, key dependent S boxes as part of the initialization phase. The round function is also based on the AES round function, but is narrower, 64 bits instead of 128 bits. The cipher uses a 128 bit key and a 128 bit nonce. It is efficient in software, running at 4 5 cycles per byte on modern processors. The cipher was presented at the Fast Software Encryption FSE conference in 2002.

unreferenced date June 2009 In classical cryptography , a permutation cipher is a transposition cipher in which the cryptographic key key is a permutation . To apply a cipher, a random permutation of size e is generated the larger the value of e the more secure the cipher . The plaintext is then broken into segments of size e and the letters within that segment are permuted according to this key. In theory, any transposition cipher can be viewed as a permutation cipher where e is equal to the length of the plaintext this is too cumbersome a generalisation to use in actual practice, however. Identifying the cipher Because the cipher doesn t change any of the characters, the ciphertext will have exactly the same letter frequencies as the underlying plaintext. This means that the cipher can in many cases be identified as a transposition by the close similarity of its letter statistics with the letter frequencies of the underlying language. Breaking the cipher Because the cipher operates on blocks of size e , the plaintext and the ciphertext have to have a length which is some multiple of e . This causes two weaknesses in the system first, the plaintext may have to be padded if the padding is identifiable then part of the key is revealed and second, information relating to the length of the key is revealed by the length of the ciphertext. To see this, note that if the ciphertext is of length i then e must be one of the divisor s of i . With the different possible key sizes different possible permutations are tried to find the permutation which results in the highest number of frequent bigram bigrams and trigram trigrams as found in the underlying language of the plaintext. Trying to find this permutation is essentially the same problem encountered when analysing a Transposition cipher Columnar transposition columnar transposition cipher multiple anagram anagramming .

refimprove date February 2009 In cryptography , a product cipher combines two or more transformations in a manner intending that the resulting cipher is more secure than the individual components to make it resistant to cryptanalysis . ref Handbook of Applied Cryptography by Alfred J. Menezes, Paul C. van Oorschot, Scott A. Vanstone. Fifth Printing August 2001 page 251. ref The product cipher combines a sequence of simple transformations such as substitution cipher substitution , transposition cipher permutation , and modular arithmetic . The concept of product ciphers is due to Claude Shannon , who presented the idea in his foundational paper, Communication Theory of Secrecy Systems . For transformation involving reasonable number of n message symbols, both of the foregoing cipher systems the S box and P box are by themselves wanting. Shannon suggested using a combination of Substitution box S box and Permutation box P box transformation a product cipher. The combination could yield a cipher system more powerful than either one alone. This approach of alternatively applying substitution and permutation transformation has been used by IBM in the Lucifer cipher system, and has become the standard for national data encryption standards such as the Data Encryption Standard and the Advanced Encryption Standard . A product cipher that uses only substitutions and permutations is called a SP network . Feistel cipher s are an important class of product ciphers.

Secondly, travel down column P to the corresponding keyLetter K. Finally, move directly left from the Key letter to the left edge of the tableau, the CipherText encryption of Plaintext P with Key K will be there. For example if encrypting Plain text character d with Key m the steps would be 1 find the column with d on the top, 2 travel down that column to find Key m , 3 travel to the left edge of the tableau to find the CipherText letter J in this case . The Beaufort cipher is a reciprocal cipher , that is, Decryption and Encryption algorithms are the same.

Methods of Encryption The cipher disk can be used in one of two ways. The code can be a consistent monoalphabetic substitution for the entire cipher or the disks can be moved periodically throughout the cipher making it polyalphabetic. For a monoalphabetic use, the sender and the person receiving the messages would agree on a key cryptography cipher key setting e.g., the G in the regular alphabet would be positioned next to the Q in the cipher alphabet .

No footnotes date April 2011 A polyalphabetic cipher is any cipher based on substitution cipher substitution , using multiple substitution alphabets. The Vigen re cipher is probably the best known example of a polyalphabetic cipher, though it is a simplified special case. The Enigma machine is more complex but still fundamentally a polyalphabetic substitution cipher. History The Alberti cipher by Leon Battista Alberti around 1467 was believed to be the first polyalphabetic cipher. Alberti used a mixed alphabet to encrypt a message, but whenever he wanted to, he would switch to a different alphabet, indicating that he had done so by including an uppercase letter or a number in the cryptogram. For this encipherment Alberti used a decoder device, his cipher disk , which implemented a polyalphabetic substitution with mixed alphabets. Although Alberti is usually considered the father of polyalphabetic cipher, it has been claimed that polyalphabetic ciphers may have been developed by the Arab cryptologist Al Kindi 600 years before Alberti http waprogramming.com papers vol1 no1 03 08 20An 20overview 20of 20modern 20cryptography.pdf . Johannes Trithemius , in a book published after his death, invented a progressive key polyalphabetic cipher called the Trithemius cipher .

Bishop s Cipher is a combination of a substitution cipher and transposition cipher useful for extracting a message from any collection of text. As with any substitution cipher , the units of text are altered according to a Key cryptography key and like a transposition cipher those units are then arranged in a complex order. File Imagesymbolexample.jpg thumb The symbols for 11 and 25. Rather than the units of ciphertext corresponding to letters, the symbols in Bishop s Cipher correspond to the digits 1 9 and 0. Thus, the first step in deciphering the code is to apply the Key cryptography key and receive the numbers. File Imageexample.jpg thumb An example of the cipher being applied to text. Each symbol will come in a pair a numerator and denominator so each symbol unit will yield a pair of digits or more if the symbols refer to a double or triple digit number, for example, the symbols below correspond to the numbers 11 and 25 . The symbols should be read left to right and top to bottom like a book. The upper numbers the numerator are one unit, as are the bottom numbers the denominator . The second step is to apply those numbers to the collection of text to which they correspond. The numerator number corresponds to the vertical line of text counting from the top. The number in the denominator corresponds to a specific letter in that line counting from the left. So the above symbol would correspond to the 25th letter on the 11th line of text from the top. Note When dechipering Bishop s Cipher you do not count the punctuation, slashes, hyphens, or spaces, only the letters and numbers.
