Modifying twist algorithms for determining the key length of a Vigenère cipher
Christian Millichap, Yeeka Yau, Alyssa Pate +1
In this article, we analyze and improve upon the twist-based algorithms introduced by Barr--Simoson and Park--Kim--Cho--Yum for determining the key length of a Vigenère cipher. We…
