🔐 Vigenere Cipher Tool

Encrypt and decrypt text using the Vigenere cipher

Plaintext

Ciphertext

Encryption Key

How it works

  • • The Vigenere cipher is a polyalphabetic substitution cipher
  • • Uses a keyword to shift each letter by different amounts
  • • Each letter in the keyword determines the shift for the corresponding plaintext letter
  • • More secure than Caesar cipher because the shift changes for each letter
  • • Only letters A-Z are encrypted; other characters are removed
