23 ;;; Commentary:
25 ;;; Quick Start:
27 ;; To decipher a message, type or load it into a buffer and type
28 ;; `M-x decipher'. This will format the buffer and place it into
29 ;; Decipher mode. You can save your work to a file with the normal
30 ;; Emacs save commands; when you reload the file it will automatically
31 ;; enter Decipher mode.
33 ;; I'm not going to discuss how to go about breaking a cipher; try
34 ;; your local library for a book on cryptanalysis. One book you might
35 ;; find is:
36 ;; Cryptanalysis: A study of ciphers and their solution
37 ;; Helen Fouche Gaines
38 ;; ISBN 0-486-20097-3
40 ;; This package is designed to help you crack simple substitution
41 ;; ciphers where one letter stands for another. It works for ciphers
42 ;; with or without word divisions. (You must set the variable
43 ;; decipher-ignore-spaces for ciphers without word divisions.)
45 ;; First, some quick definitions:
46 ;; ciphertext The encrypted message (what you start with)
47 ;; plaintext The decrypted message (what you are trying to get)
49 ;; Decipher mode displays ciphertext in uppercase and plaintext in
50 ;; lowercase. You must enter the plaintext in lowercase; uppercase
51 ;; letters are interpreted as commands. The ciphertext may be entered
52 ;; in mixed case; `M-x decipher' will convert it to uppercase.
54 ;; Decipher mode depends on special characters in the first column of
55 ;; each line. The command `M-x decipher' inserts these characters for
56 ;; you. The characters and their meanings are:
57 ;; ( The plaintext & ciphertext alphabets on the first line
58 ;; ) The ciphertext & plaintext alphabets on the second line
59 ;; : A line of ciphertext (with plaintext below)
60 ;; > A line of plaintext (with ciphertext above)
61 ;; % A comment
62 ;; Each line in the buffer MUST begin with one of these characters (or
63 ;; be left blank). In addition, comments beginning with `%!' are reserved
64 ;; for checkpoints; see decipher-make-checkpoint & decipher-restore-checkpoint
65 ;; for more information.
67 ;; While the cipher message may contain digits or punctuation, Decipher
68 ;; mode will ignore these characters.
70 ;; The buffer is made read-only so it can't be modified by normal
71 ;; Emacs commands.
73 ;; Decipher supports Font Lock mode. To use it, you can also add
74 ;; (add-hook 'decipher-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
75 ;; See the variable `decipher-font-lock-keywords' if you want to customize
76 ;; the faces used. I'd like to thank Simon Marshall for his help in making
77 ;; Decipher work well with Font Lock.
79 ;;; Things To Do:
81 ;; Email me if you have any suggestions or would like to help.
82 ;; But be aware that I work on Decipher only sporadically.
