Bazeries Cipher

Encrypts or decrypts a message using the Bazeries cipher.

Source library: secretpy

Historical Context

The Bazeries cipher was developed by Étienne Bazeries, a French military cryptanalyst. It is a polyalphabetic substitution cipher that is similar to the Vigenère cipher.

How it Works

The Bazeries cipher uses a keyword to create a set of mixed alphabets. The plaintext is then encrypted using these alphabets in a periodic manner.

Parameters

• text: The message to encrypt or decrypt.
• alphabet: The alphabet to use for the cipher. Can be a string of characters or a predefined alphabet from secretpy.alphabets.
• key: The key for the cipher.
• mode: Whether to encrypt or decrypt the message.
• keep_formatting: Whether to keep the original formatting of the message.
