# Efficient Cryptanalysis of Homophonic Substitution Ciphers

Amrapali Dhavare, Richard M. Low, Mark Stamp, 2013. _Cryptologia_.

Gives a hill-climbing attack on homophonic substitution ciphers, in which one plaintext letter can map to several ciphertext symbols, and tests it on the Zodiac ciphers.

## What it's used for here

The mixed-keys survey takes from it the measure of how hard a homophonic cipher is to break, and the result that Z340 resisted without cribs.
