Actually, no, Vignere is the correct spelling. Vigenere is the typo. Alas, according to Google, this error also appears to be very widespread.

The cypher was invented by one Blaise de Vignere. In English, you would pronounce his last name as roughly vin-yeah.

hmm, no, actually, that is wrong. It is Vigénère. No lesser authority than Bruce Schneier, in Applied Cryptography has it this way. I should have checked there first. Oh well, if I ever run into the teacher who taught it that way, I'll be sure to update him.

For what it's worth, the name would be pronounced visj-en-air, where the sj sound is like the s in Asia or measure.

Man I hate when this happens

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
