Ask a new question Source codeĭCode retains ownership of the "Cipher Identifier" source code. The more data there is, the more accurate the detection will be. Please contact us with your cipher message, the original message and the encryption method used so that dCode can teach the analyzer this encryption for future times. Sometimes the recognizer algorithm (based on artificial intelligence and machine learning) finds multiple signals, distinctive signs from several cipher types, and returns approximate results. The encryption used is very rare: dCode can detect nearly 200 different ciphers and continues to improve thanks to your feedback and messages, but it is not impossible that some ciphers are still unknown/missing. Identification is, in essence, difficult. The encryption used is recent: modern cryptography techniques are such that it is impossible to recognize an encrypted message from a random message, it is moreover a quality of a good encryption. The message is over-encrypted: several successive encodings / ciphers have been applied, the over-encryption tends to mask the characteristic signatures of the original encryption. Furthermore, nearly all messages can be stored in binary, identifying the encryption precisely is difficult.
The message has a low entropy: it is composed of few distinct characters (a binary message containing only 0s and 1s has a low entropy). The possibilities become very numerous without a way to precisely identify the encryption. The message is too short: a message containing not enough characters does not allow a good frequency analysis to be performed. Sometimes the cipher identifier finds little or no relevant result, several reasons are possible:
