{{draft task}} [[Category:Encryption]] [[wp: Bacon's cipher| Bacon's cipher]] is a method of steganography created by Francis Bacon. This task is to implement a program for encryption and decryption of plaintext using the simple alphabet of the Baconian cipher or some other kind of representation of this alphabet (make anything signify anything).

The Baconian alphabet:

a AAAAA g AABBA n ABBAA t BAABA b AAAAB h AABBB o ABBAB u-v BAABB c AAABA i-j ABAAA p ABBBA w BABAA d AAABB k ABAAB q ABBBB x BABAB e AABAA l ABABA r BAAAA y BABBA f AABAB m ABABB s BAAAB z BABBB

The Baconian alphabet may optionally be extended to encode all lower case characters individually and/or adding a few punctuation characters such as the space.

It is impractical to use the original change in font for the steganography. For this task you must provide an example that uses a change in the case of successive alphabetical characters instead. Other examples for the language are encouraged to explore alternative steganographic means.

Show an example plaintext message encoded and then decoded here on this page.

These next 2 classes use the 0's & 1's generated by the 'Bacon encryption' to create different the outputs. One could go wild here...

=={{header|Fōrmulæ}}==

In [https://wiki.formulae.org/Bacon_cipher this] page you can see the solution of this task.

Fōrmulæ programs are not textual, visualization/edition of programs is done showing/manipulating structures but not text ([http://wiki.formulae.org/Editing_F%C5%8Drmul%C3%A6_expressions more info]). Moreover, there can be multiple visual representations of the same program. Even though it is possible to have textual representation —i.e. XML, JSON— they are intended for transportation effects more than visualization and edition.

The option to show Fōrmulæ programs and their results is showing images. Unfortunately images cannot be uploaded in Rosetta Code.

Haskell

Necessary imports

import Data.List (findIndex, unfoldr)
import Data.Char (isAlpha, isUpper, toUpper, toLower)
import Data.Bool (bool)

The list of characters to be encoded:

chars = ['a'..'z'] ++ ['0'..'9'] ++ ",.;?! "
bitsPerChar = 6 :: Int

Some simple helper functions:

toBinary :: Int -> [Bool]
toBinary = unfoldr (pure . (\(a,b)->(odd b,a)) . (`divMod` 2))

fromBinary :: [Bool] -> Int
fromBinary = foldr (\x n -> 2*n + bool 0 1 x) 0

And, finally main functions -- encoding:

encode :: String -> String -> Either String String
encode message txt = do
  mask <- traverse coding message
  zipAlphas (bool toLower toUpper) (concat mask) txt
  where
    coding ch = case findIndex (== ch) chars of
      Nothing -> Left $ "Unknown symbol " ++ show ch
      Just i -> Right $ take bitsPerChar (toBinary i)

    zipAlphas f = go
      where go _ [] = Left "Text is not long enough!"
            go [] _ = Right []
            go (x:xs) (y:ys) | isAlpha y = (f x y :) <$> go xs ys
                             | otherwise = (y :) <$> go (x:xs) ys

And decoding:

decode :: String -> String
decode = map decipher . chunksOf bitsPerChar . filter isAlpha
  where
    decipher = (chars !!) . min (length chars-1) . fromBinary . map isUpper
    chunksOf n = takeWhile (not . null) . unfoldr (pure . splitAt n)

This task is to implement a program for encryption and decryption

some other kind of representation of this alphabet (make anything
signify anything). This example will work with anything in the

Bah. It isn't really practical to use typeface changes to encode
information, it is too easy to tell that there is something going
on and will attract attention. Font changes with enough regularity
to encode mesages relatively efficiently would need to happen so
often it would be obvious that there was some kind of manipulation
going on. Steganographic encryption where it is obvious that there
has been some tampering with the carrier is not going to be very
effective. Not that any of these implementations would hold up to
serious scrutiny anyway. Anyway, here's a semi-bogus implementation
that hides information in white space. The message is hidden in this
paragraph of text. Yes, really. It requires a fairly modern file
viewer to display (not display?) the hidden message, but that isn't
too unlikely any more. It may be stretching things to call this a
Bacon cipher, but I think it falls within the spirit of the task,
if not the exact definition.

Not truly a Bacon Cipher as it doesn't encode using font variations. But fits with the spirit if not the exact definition.

    Bah. It isn't really practical to use typeface changes to encode
    information, it is too easy to tell that there is something going
    on and will attract attention. Font changes with enough regularity
    to encode mesages relatively efficiently would need to happen so
    often it would be obvious that there was some kind of manipulation
    going on. Steganographic encryption where it is obvious that there
    has been some tampering with the carrier is not going to be very

## Phix

Rather than explictly using 'a'="AAAAA", 'b'='AAAAB', c='AAABA", etc, this
notes that "AAAAA".."BBBAA" are just another form of binary, and therefore
handles them as 0..26, ie a-z plus space for any non-letters.

You could of course extend this to encode full binary, by changing the bits
to 8, and accepting every input byte as-is, or use an image file instead of
plaintext simply by reading it using get_text() and (from some appropriate
offset) setting the pixel colours to odd/even instead of upper/lower, and
start by encoding the message length in bytes, that is rather than sending
half of/an obviously corrupt image file.

up, and the way Wendy knew was this. One day when she was two years old
she was playing in a garden, and she plucked another flower and ran with
it to her mother. I suppose she must have looked rather delightful, for
Mrs. Darling put her hand to her heart and cried, "Oh, why can't you
remain like this for ever!" This was all that passed between them on
the subject, but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up. You always
know after you are two. Two is the beginning of the end.

Of course they lived at 14 [their house number on their street], and
until Wendy came her mother was the chief one. She was a lovely lady,
with a romantic mind and such a sweet mocking mouth. Her romantic
mind was like the tiny boxes, one within the other, that come from the
puzzling East, however many you discover there is always one more; and
her sweet mocking mouth had one kiss on it that Wendy could never get,
though there it was, perfectly conspicuous in the right-hand corner.""".lower()
