Question

True or False: Cracking a Vigenère cipher with brute force takes longer than a Caesar cipher, but it is still a reliable method for cracking the encryption.

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The Vigenere cipher is an encryption method that uses a series of interwoven Ceaser ciphers and a keyword to encrypt text. The difference between this cipher and the Ceaser cipher is the tabular interwoven Ceaser cipher and the keyword.

Multiple keywords can be used in the Vigenere cipher. The use of this keyword makes the brute-force decipher algorithm unreliable for decoding text encrypted with it.
