Quote:I'm not sure I use the proper terminology, but for me "many to many" implies that you cannot reconstruct a unique plaintext, there will always be uncertainty
I am not sure about the terminology too. "Many to many" was my invention on the fly. The proper name is polyalphabetic cipher: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
See this example:
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

I meant that
- "t" from plain text may become "v" but also "n" in the ciphertext
- "z" in the ciphertext may mean "t" but also "i" in the plain text
Actually in Vigenere any letter may mean any another letter.
