In this video, we show the basics of cryptology (cryptology = cryptography and cryptanalysis).

This second video in a series about cryptology gives an overview of the basic terminology of cryptanalysis (focusing on classical ciphers). It explains different general types of attacks (chosen-plaintext attack, (partially) known-plaintext attack, and ciphertext-only attack). Additionally, we have a look at language models and we also break a monoalphabetic substitution cipher as well as a transposition cipher by hand.Finally, we have a look at text frequencies in CrypTool 2.

In upcoming videos we will have a look at modern ciphers as well as on modern cryptanalysis.

This tool is very helpful to those who want to learn cryptography. Thank you very much for sharing it with us!

Q: Where u have uploaded the task 2 ?

Q: Why we won't secret the cipher with a key ? eventough keyspace is limited in some cases & attacker can try bruteforce if it's feasible or can go with other frequency distribution or other lingustic characterstics attacks but predicting the cipher would be challenging & it takes too much time span so why we won't keep the cipher secret along the key?

Thanks Nils. I'm really enjoying binging your channel. I was wondering, with the English letter frequency distribution, is there a noticeable difference between British and US English with respect to the Z? In Britain, we often use an S in places where the US would use a Z. For example, in the US, they use words such as civilized, naturalized, etc. Maybe there aren't enough words for this difference to affect the percentages much. Thanks.

Is there a way to do a frequency test to show the number of times each character appears as opposed to the percentage?
