  Running key cipher
In classical cryptography, the runnning key cipher is a type of polyalphabetic substitution cipher in which a text, typically from a book, is used to provide a very long key stream.
Modern variants of the running key cipher often replace the traditional tabula recta with bitwise exclusive or, operate on whole bytes rather than alphabetic letters, and derive their running keys from large files.
Because both ciphers classically employed novels or Bibles as part of their key material, many sources confuse the book cipher and the running key cipher.

Modern variants of the running key cipher often replace the traditional tabula recta with bitwise exclusive or, operate on whole bytes rather than alphabetic letters, and derive their running keys from large files.
This is because the entropy per character of both plaintext and running key is low, and the combining operation is easily inverted.

 Braingle: Vigenere Cipher
In a Caesar Cipher, each letter of the alphabet is shifted along some number of places; for example, in a Caesar cipher of shift 3, A would become D, B would become E and so on.
An Autokey cipher is identical to the Vigenère cipher with the exception that instead of creating a keyword by repeating one word over and over, the keyword is constructed by appending the keyword to the begining of the actual plaintext message.
A Running Key cipher is identical to the Vigenère cipher with the exception that the keyword is chosen to be a book or long passage.

A monoalphabetic cipher uses fixed substitution over the entire message, whereas a polyalphabetic cipher uses a number of substitutions at different times in the message—such as with homophones, where a unit from the plaintext is mapped to one of several possibilities in the ciphertext.
The running key cipher, where the key is made very long by using a passage from a book or similar text.
Modern stream ciphers can also be seen, from a sufficiently abstract perspective, to be a form of polyalphabetic cipher in which all the effort has gone into making the keystream as long and unpredictable as possible.

For example, lets say we have a string of "errokeys" and run it against a polygram cipher then depending on the application itself, it may encipher the first 4 characters, then the other 4 characters.
Simple substitution cipher's are really not hard to break anyway, considering if they only substituted characters, the cipher does not hide the underlying frequencies of the different letters of the plaintext.
Homophonic is superior to the simple substitution ciphers and are much more complicated to break, but still do not interrupt all of the stats properties of the plaintext language.

You should allow the user to specify a key and then encryption and decryption is done by reading from files (rather than typing from the keyboard).
Whether a definite key length is found or not, possibly strategies exist for exhausing ngrams of consecutive key characters to yield meaningful plaintext.
For 32 bit keys which are chosen from sequences of 4 lower case letters there are about half a million keys to check.

Cipher was developed from 2000 to 2003 by Synaptic Soup Ltd. The company built Cipher to create their own games with and also licensed the technology to other developers.
Cipher has been used to produce a game that runs on a Pentium II 300Mhz with a Rage 128, which is a very low spec machine by today's standards.
Cipher has not been used in a shipping game at this point, though it has been used in two technology demos for leading graphics card manufactures and is being used in a number of non-commercial reseach projects.

 Book cipher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A book cipher is a cipher in which the key is the identity of a book or other piece of text.
Essentially, the code version of a "book cipher" is just like any other code, but one in which the trouble of preparing and distributing the codebook has been eliminated by using an existing text.
Perhaps the most famous use of a book cipher is in the Beale ciphers, of which document no. 2 uses a (modified version of) the United States Declaration of Independence as the key text.

 Mathematical Games
Ciphers that are unbreakable even in theory have been in use for half a century.
Then in 1975 a new kind of cipher was proposed that radically altered the situation by supplying a new definition of "unbreakable," a definition that comes from the branch of computer science known as complexity theory.
Of course any cipher system that cannot be proved unbreakable in the absolute sense of one-time pads is open to sophisticated attacks by modern cryptanalysts who are trained mathematicians with powerful computers at their elbow.

One of the simplest ciphers was said to have been used by Julius Caesar and for that reason this type of cipher still bears his name.
Each letter in the key would be given a number equal to the order in which it appears in the alphabet.
By shifting the ciphers by one letter each time a new letter was encoded, the builders of the machine were able to minimize the chance that the frequency of certain letters appearing in the code could be used to break it.

Typically, a form of stream cipher where the ciphertext output is fed back to modify the state of the random number generator producing the running key or confusion sequence.
In a discussion of block cipher concepts, cryptography implicitly uses definition (2), because it is the accumulation of multiple characters (and the resulting larger ciphering alphabet) which is characteristic of conventional block ciphers.
A block cipher operates on a block of data (for example, multiple bytes) in a single ciphering, as opposed to a stream cipher, which can operate on bytes or even bits as they occur.

Keys must be changed periodically, because using the same key forever means that any single exposure of that key will expose all messages, past and future.
A major advantage of this organization is the ability to replace the ciphering with a simple copy; this allows the file and block operations to be tested and developed independent of the cipher.

In order to decrypt text, you must have the key (that is, you must know the encrypted text as well as the "SPOT RUN SEE" string).
However, your encryption algorithm is weaker than the (weak) running key cipher algorithm.

 Apache 2 with SSL/TLS: Step-by-Step, Part 1
SSL itself is conceptually quite simple: it negotiates the cryptography algorithms and keys between two sides of a communication, and establishes an encrypted tunnel through which other protocols (like HTTP) can be transported.
If the handshake is successful and both sides agree on a common cipher suite and encryption keys, the application data (usually HTTP, but it can be another protocol) can be sent through encrypted tunnel (using the SSL Record Layer).
The value "128-bit" says that the symmetric key that that is being used to encrypt the communication has the length of 128 bits, which is strong enough (at least for the moment) to protect the traffic from unauthorized access.
