Cryptanalysis Support Program

The following set of cryptanalytic tools is based on the GW BASIC code in appendix F of this declassified Basic Cryptanalysis field manual.

Ciphertext:


Monographic IC:

Digraphic IC:

Length of text:

For frequency analysis, please use the improved frequency analysis tool.

The above ciphertext with repeated sequences underlined.


Periodic Index of Coincidence for a period length of (change for different period)

If the average periodic IC is high, then the chosen period length is likely to be correct, or a multiple of the correct period length. This analysis is helpful for determining the keyword length if a periodic key encryption system like Vigenere Cipher is in use.

Monographic Index of Coincidence - a measure of the likelihood that this ciphertext is a letter-for-letter substitution.


Digraphic Index of Coincidence - a measure of the likelihood that this ciphertext uses two letters to represent one plaintext character.
