Substitution Cipher with Example

In this tutorial, we are going to see Substitution Cipher with Example.

Substitution Cipher consists in replacing one or several entities (generally letters) in a message by one or several other entities.

Several types of substitution cryptosystems are generally used:

  • Monoalphabetic substitution consists in replacing each letter of the message by another letter of the alphabet
  • Polyalphabetic substitution consists in using a monoalphabetic sequence of numbers reused periodically
  • Homophonic substitution allows matching each letter of the message with a possible set of other characters
  • Polygram substitution consists in substituting a group of characters (polygram) in the message by another group of characters
