I’ve always thought the vigenere cipher was incredibly elegant and beautiful. Also, the Enigma cipher is effectively just a vigenere cipher with a super long key.

- olliej 7y agoNo it really isn’t, it is logically a short key with a KDF. The important thing about a “vignere cipher with a super long key” is that once the key length matches the length of the message (which is your implication) vignere ciphers are provably unbreakable. They are the canonical one time pad.
