Talk:Vigenère cipher/Cryptanalysis: Difference between revisions

: Well, I put more text since this is supposed to be fully autonomous. I think if you can look at the output, look for word pieces, and use that to improve your guess, you wouldn't need as much text. That said, I did test the algorithm I posted on shorter inputs and it did fine. It was only when the key was fairly long compared to the text that it started to make mistakes. Also, the text I gave is a specific chunk of a certain work. I didn't put the output of my program on the page in case anyone wanted to view this as a puzzle. (Adding a second, shorter piece of ciphertext would be fine though.) [[User:MagiMaster|MagiMaster]] 04:4849, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
