More Secret Codes: A History of Cryptography (Part 2)

Part 2 of my series on historical cryptography.
Codes, ciphers, and mysterious plots. The history of cryptography, of hiding important messages, is as interesting as it is mysterious. I hope you enjoy!

This video is primarily based on The Code Book by Simon Singh.

Chapters:
00:00 Intro
00:13 The Vigenere Cipher
03:39 Alternative Ciphers
05:35 The Breaking of the Vigenere Cipher

complicated, but well explained. I hope to see more of you in my timeline. thank you.

Another great one, I'm loving this series!!

Very well-made!
I would enjoy a third video because I am trying to create a difficult challenge. I had created the Vigenere cipher on my own without knowing it already existed. I assumed frequency analysis, which I learned years ago from looking at the ceasar cipher, would work if one brute-forced all the lengths, so I searched for better ciphers. This video revealed that the cipher was much easier to break than I thought.
Although I'll probably make a decent cipher challenge soon, I would really like to see some more on the history of ciphers!

this is actually really good! It's clear and interesting :D

These are wonderful videos. Only feedback if you do more would be that the examples would benefit from the use of a monospace font. When you lay the keyword over the plaintext the letters would directly line up with a monospace font as an example.

I bought the book a couple years ago. Great freaking read keeps you interested like a novel!
Great vids thx for the content!

[nuglord]

Great work on this video. It’s my favorite video on cryptography.

This channel is new but has great potential. I've been through many small educational channels that slowly turned big over the years please keep on continuing this work we will watch your career with great interest.

[marjostorjaandobravolja]

I love channels like this one. Keep it up man, looking up to a 3rd part maybe? :D

[miguelupload]

Well done! This is an offering to the algorithm

[QuintonCraig]

Please consider doing more cryptography stuff

[adityanpanchal]

I need the al-kindi, babbage and vigenere written books, but i can't find the pdfs! Could you help me?

[uniqcoda]

Awesome and well explained video. Thank you. I noticed something I think is a mistake. The example where you generated a cypher text using the WHITE keyword, the 4th cypher letter is X and not Y. So it is IVDXX... not IVDYX...
Let me know if I'm mistaken.

I love the way you explain every topic. No matter the topic, whether it’s history, academics, culture, language, kingdoms…etc., you do it in such an unbiased way that it makes it easy to understand and appreciate the story behind it all. Thank you for such great content.

Vingere cipher doesn’t need the chart if you know the formula.
Just have to understand mods.

[krakendakon]

I am listening to this and realising how uninteligent i am, Thanks for the great video.

[dafa]

But why? Why would Babbage discovered the method then refusing to publish it

Take a crack at the Voynich Manuscript and see how far you get before you tear your hair out.

Cover the mechanical and digital cryptography stage if not we'll report your channel
