The Bifid Cipher Explained

#cryptology, #cryptography, #cryptanalysis The bifid cipher was invented in 1895 by Félix-Marie Delastelle. It combines substitution, transposition, and fractionation. In this video, we first explain how the cipher works, its keyspace size, and unicity distance. Then, we show how to use the bifid cipher component of CrypTool 2 to encrypt and decrypt texts. A small article on my blog about the cipher: https://www.kopaldev.de/2022/12/20/bifid-and-trifid-cipher/ If you are interested in learning the fundaments of cryptology, let me invite you to have a look at our video series about the basics of cryptology, also for beginners: https://youtu.be/jbumW7Ym03o You can download the latest version of CrypTool 2 from here: https://www.cryptool.org/en/ct2/downloads Visit my blog: https://www.kopaldev.de Like what I do 😄?
