Answers to Questions (FAQ)

How to encrypt using words substitution/dictionary cipher?

The principle of the dictionary cipher is to replace any letter / character, by a word according to a correspondence dictionary.

Thus, any sentence (or sequence of words) can correspond to a coded message.

Example: WORD can be encrypted short sequence of letters, with a dictionary where W=short, O=sequence, R=of and D=letters

A variant is to use a dictionary where each letter is coded by a word starting with it.

How to decrypt words substitution/dictionary cipher?

Decryption by dictionary consists of replacing each word by the letter that has been associated with it in the dictionary (during encryption).

How to recognize a dictionary ciphertext?

The encrypted message is much longer than the plain message (since it replaces one character with several ones).

A talented person will be able to hide the words of the message inside an intelligible text. This is the case of the Ave Maria of Tritheme, where the messages resemble religious prayers.

Otherwise, the message is simply a series of words without any sense.

How to decipher dictionary cipher without dictionary?

If a word corresponds to a single letter and vice-versa, then it is possible to associate each word with a random letter and thus to obtain a message coded by mono alphabetic substitution.

What are the variants of the dictionary cipher?

It is conceivable to use several words for the same letter / character, which makes decryption very difficult, like a book cipher.
