 | | Part II In Lecture 3, we continue our look into substitution ciphers, and move into the multiliteral substitution case, we field more tools for cryptanalysis, look at some fascinating historical variations, we review "the unbreakable cipher" and solve homework problems. |
 | | If a multiliteral cipher includes a provision for the encipherment of a word separator, the cipher equivalent of this word separator may be readily identified because it will have the highest frequency of any cipher unit. |
 | | In modern cryptographic systems, the DES family of ciphers use simple S-Boxes [substitution boxes] that are reorganized by ordered non-linear mathematical rules applied several times over (know as rounds). |
