Step 1

First, we need to find the key used in the Vigenere cipher. The key is an English phrase, but we cannot use a dictionary attack to get the key. Show more…

Thanks for your feedback!

To be coded in Python - need to complete a cryptanalysis for the Vigenere cipher which has more than 1 character as a key (i.e. key length >= 1) # Parameters: ciphertext (string) key (plaintext) # Return: Cryptanalysis of Vigenere Cipher def cryptanalysis_vigenere(ciphertext): key = "" plaintext = "" # Hint: Find the key first, the key is an English phrase # HOWEVER: YOU CANNOT DO A DICTIONARY ATTACK TO GET THE KEY # Next, pass this key to the decryption function which gives plaintext plaintext = decryption_vigenere(ciphertext, key) # Return both key and plaintext return key, plaintext
