Noun
ciphertext (countable and uncountable, plural ciphertexts)
Encoded text, text that is unreadable.
All ciphertexts look alike; that's how you know they're in code.
A common misconception is to use inverse order of encryption as decryption algorithm (i.e. first XORing P17 and P18 to the ciphertext block, then using the P-entries in reverse order). Source: Internet
A Colossus reconstruction was switched on in 1996; it was upgraded to Mk2 configuration in 2004; it found the key for a wartime German ciphertext in 2007. Source: Internet
A hand-operated Red analog is also visible In operation, the enciphering machine accepted typewritten input (in the Roman alphabet) and produced ciphertext output, and vice versa when deciphering messages. Source: Internet
As such, even today a Vigenère type cipher should theoretically be difficult to break if mixed alphabets are used in the tableau, if the keyword is random, and if the total length of ciphertext is less than 27.6 times the length of the keyword. Source: Internet
Another approach is to tag the ciphertext with markers at regular points in the output. Source: Internet
After moving his rotors to EIN, the receiving operator then typed in the rest of the ciphertext, deciphering the message. Source: Internet
