NAME

Crypt::Trifid - Interface to the Trifid cipher.

VERSION

Version 0.11

DESCRIPTION

In classical cryptography, the trifid cipher is a cipher invented around 1901 by Felix Delastelle, which extends the concept of the bifid cipher to a third dimension, allowing each symbol to be fractionated into 3 elements instead of two.

While the bifid uses the Polybius square to turn each symbol into coordinates on a 5x5 (or 6x6) square, the trifid turns them into coordinates on a 3x3x3 cube.

As with the bifid, this is then combined with transposition to achieve diffusion.

However a higher degree of diffusion is achieved because each output symbol depends on 3 input symbols instead of two.

Thus the trifid was the first practical trigraphic substitution.

SYNOPSIS

use strict; use warnings;
use Crypt::Trifid;

my $crypt   = Crypt::Trifid->new;
my $message = 'TRIFID';
my $encoded = $crypt->encode($message);
my $decoded = $crypt->decode($encoded);

print "Encoded message: [$encoded]\n";
print "Decoded message: [$decoded]\n";

METHODS

encode($message)

It takes message as scalar string and returns the encoded message.

use strict; use warnings;
use Crypt::Trifid;

my $crypt   = Crypt::Trifid->new;
my $message = 'TRIFID';
my $encoded = $crypt->encode($message);

print "Encoded message: [$encoded]\n";

decode($encoded_message)

It takes an encoded message as scalar string and returns the decoded message.

use strict; use warnings;
use Crypt::Trifid;

my $crypt   = Crypt::Trifid->new;
my $message = 'TRIFID';
my $encoded = $crypt->encode($message);
my $decoded = $crypt->decode($encoded);

print "Encoded message: [$encoded]\n";
print "Decoded message: [$decoded]\n";
