Beaufort Cipher

Reciprocal Vigenère variant: encrypt and decrypt are identical.

Reciprocal cipher: Beaufort uses the formula c = (k − p) mod 26, which is its own inverse. Run the ciphertext back through with the same keyword to decrypt.

About this tool

Each ciphertext letter is computed as c_i = (k_i − p_i) mod 26. Re-running the cipher on the ciphertext with the same key recovers the original.
