Module cipher_crypt::autokey [−][src]
An autokey cipher (also known as the autoclave cipher) is a cipher which incorporates the message (the plaintext) into the key.
For example, say the message was ATTACK AT DAWN
and the key was CRYPT
then the calculated
keystream would be CRYPTA TT ACKA
. It was invented by Blaise de Vigenère in 1586, and is
generally more secure than the Vigenere cipher.
