On a mnemonic construction of permutations
In the past when only “paper and pencil” ciphers were in use, a mnemonic Bellaso’s method was applied to obtain a permutation from a meaningful phrase. It turns out that even nowadays this method and its variations are employed and provide a simple but at the same time efficient tool for some cipher...

| description |
In the past when only “paper and pencil” ciphers were in use, a mnemonic
Bellaso’s method was applied to obtain a permutation from a meaningful
phrase. It turns out that even nowadays this method and its variations are
employed and provide a simple but at the same time efficient tool for some
ciphers. To the best of our knowledge the security of such ciphers has not been
evaluated yet in all respects. Therefore, in this paper we initiate a study of
their security with respect to the probability distribution of permutations
obtained by Bellaso’s method. |
