{{task|Encryption}}[[Category:Encryption]] Given some text you suspect has been encrypted with a Vigenère cipher, extract the key and plaintext. There are several methods for doing this. See [[wp:Vigenère_cipher#Cryptanalysis|the Wikipedia entry]] for more information. Use the following encrypted text:

Letter frequencies for English can be found [[wp:Letter_frequency|here]].

Specifics for this task:

  • Take only the ciphertext as input. You can assume it's all capitalized and has no punctuation, but it might have whitespace.
  • Assume the plaintext is written in English.
  • Find and output the key.
  • Use that key to decrypt and output the original plaintext. Maintaining the whitespace from the ciphertext is optional.
  • The algorithm doesn't have to be perfect (which may not be possible) but it should work when given enough ciphertext. The example above is fairly long, and should be plenty for any algorithm.

The program is not fully auto, but makes a small number of suggestions for the right key and plaintext.

## Kotlin

{{trans|C}}
This is a reasonably faithful translation of the C entry though I've restricted the key lengths examined to 26 to automatically produce the correct key and hence decrypted text. This is because the C entry examines key lengths up to 29 and a value of 28 gives a slightly better fit even though the key produced (THECHESCIRECATTHECHESHIRECAT) and resulting text don't make as much sense and so would be rejected if one were examining the candidate keys manually.

###  Simple method

This is a simple method that just tries to find a key of any length that minimizes the difference from the expected English character distributions.

###  An attempted more complete implementation

This is an attempt at following the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_of_coincidence#Example Wikipedia] description.  However, it performs just as well as the simple version.  Most likely because I know almost nothing about cryptography...

## Vedit macro language

This implementation is fully autonomous as long as the text is long enough and there are not too many non-English words in the original text.

The text to be analysed must be in current edit buffer. A new buffer is opened to display the results.

To automatically find the best key, a dictionary is used to find English words within the decrypted text.
I have used unixdict.txt, but if you do not have it available, you can use the Scribe English dictionary that comes with Vedit.
However, that is unnecessarily big. A smaller dictionary is faster and may actually give better results.
It might be good idea to use dictionary that only contains the most common English words.

This implementation finds the best and 2nd best Caesar key for each key position.
It then checks key combinations where max one char is taken from 2nd best Caesar key.
If this does not solve some encrypted text, you could increase the number of key combinations to be checked.
