Examining The Dorabella Cipher with Three Lesser-Known Cryptanalysis Methods
Klaus Schmeh, 2018. Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Historical Cryptology (HistoCrypt 2018), Uppsala, Linköping Electronic Conference Proceedings 149: 145-152.
Applies Helen Fouché Gaines's vowel detection and digram methods to Dorabella and to an unenciphered control of the same length; vowel detection works on the control and yields vowel candidates for Dorabella, without a solution.
What it's used for here
Manual cryptanalysis with a proper control.
