@freemo By the way my own blog post is ready, I'll be expanding the concept of Asymmetric Mono-Alphabetic ciphers to Polyalphabetic ciphers later. And in later posts, presenting them as Ruby scripts for download in IPFS.

The concept is still super early alpha, not sure how far this rabbit whole will go. Haven't met the queen of hearts yet.

@freemo I'm mainly wanting to test to see if this other algorithm based on the Solitaire cipher kindly mentioned by Schneier might work.

It uses Solitaire as a base, and expands on it to split it into public and private keys.

@freemo Slight mathematical error, I meant modular 25. Not 26.

@freemo The trick with using a prime smaller than eleven, as the public key. And a the rest of the alphabet modulo 25 becomes the private key. Anything beyond 11 is toxic: 13 is its own inverse, and 15 onwards the public key is larger than the private.
