Introduction:
- Cryptography has been a crucial part of communication throughout history.
- The Fractionated Morse Cipher is a type of cryptographic system that was used during the early 1900s for secure communication.
- It was a modification of the Morse Code system, which was used to send messages via telegraph.
- This article aims to provide a comprehensive guide to the Fractionated Morse Cipher, including its features, use cases, and encryption and decryption process.
Features of Fractionated Morse Cipher:
- Fractionated Morse Cipher is a polygraphic substitution cipher, meaning it replaces plaintext with a different set of symbols or letters.
- It is a transposition cipher, meaning it rearranges the letters in the plaintext without changing them.
- The cipher uses both Morse code and a key to encrypt the plaintext.
- The key for the Fractionated Morse Cipher consists of a square matrix…
