GirkovArpa 2 Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 If you use multiple keys whose lengths are relatively prime, your effective Vigenere key length is the product of the lengths of all the keys. Imagine using keys with relatively prime lengths 9, 10, and 11. Your effective key length would be 1,320 characters long! Using an easily-remembered phrase that you can break up until lengths of perhaps 29, 30, and 31, you're practically using a one-time pad 26,970 letters long that you can store in your head! Is there any way to crack such a ciphertext if it's shorter than the effective key length? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
