Cryptanalysis of Homophonic Substitution Ciphers Using Simulated Annealing with Fixed Temperature

Nils Kopal, 2019. Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Historical Cryptology (HistoCrypt 2019): 107–116.

Describes an attack on homophonic substitution ciphers by simulated annealing at a fixed temperature, implemented in CrypTool 2, and sets its results against earlier solvers.

What it's used for here

The mixed-keys survey adopts its fixed-temperature annealing with spare key slots as a solver technique; it also appears in the book's bibliography.
