Vigenre
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vigen%C3%A8re_cipher
The Vigenre cipher is a method of encrypting alphabetic text by using a series of interwoven Caesar ciphers, based on the letters of a keyword. It employs a form of polyalphabetic substitution.
First described by Giovan Battista Bellaso in 1553, the cipher is easy to understand and implement, but it resisted all attempts to break it until 1863, three centuries later. This earned it the description le chiffre indchiffrable (French for 'the indecipherable cipher'). Many people have tried to implement encryption schemes that are essentially Vigenre ciphers. In 1863, Friedrich Kasiski was the first to publish a general method of deciphering Vigenre ciphers.
