Cryptology A mono-alphabetic substitution cypher exchanges one letter for anotherABCDEF
LMNOPQ
So FACED becomes QLNPOStatistics allow these codes to be easily cracked. A 2 cypher substitution exchanges a block of 2 letters with another 2 letters by a procedure that involves modulo arithmeticEg Mod 4 1-1 2-2 3-3 4-0 5-1 mod 4 6-2 mod 4Eg
Eg Simplify If is a number in Zm, then a number, in Zm, is called a reciprocal or multiplicative inverse of a modulo m if:Eg simplify Look for what multiplies by 5 to give 1 on the table
Simplify
To encipher a code:-1. Convert text to number and group in pairs2. Multiply the matrix by a code enciphering key3. Convert the numbers to mod 264. Convert numbers to letters
