TheCodeBreakers
Basic English: "And the disciples were full of wonder at his words. But
Jesus said to them again, Children, how hard it is for those who put faith
in wealth to come into the kingdom of God!"
The problem of low redundancy arises in practice with a vengeance
when the cryptanalyst is faced with enciphered code. To strip the
encipherment from encicode, the cryptanalyst must solve a cryptogram
whose plaintext consists of codewords and which may look like
KKDYWUKJTPLKJE. . . . This is of very low redundancy because of the more
even use of letters, the greater freedom in combining them, the
suppression of frequencies by the use of homophones, and so on. But the
unavoidable repetitions of orders and reports, the pressure of the
redundancy of the language pent within the vessel of the code, and the
engineering of codewords so that garbles can be corrected—all these give
the underlying codetext a fibrous enough texture for the cryptanalyst to
