Sep 3, 2018 at 15:05 comment added e-sushi @fgrieu rolling back my edit
Sep 2, 2018 at 15:31 comment added ahmid algdafe the script is no longer autokey has nothing to do with the chipher so keep the original title
Sep 2, 2018 at 14:47 comment added fgrieu @e-sushi: I'm OK to leave "autokey" in, but then the "gone wrong" of the original title is critical: it tells the idea is not to decipher autokey, but a wrong variant. Perhaps: How can I decipher the output of that autokey cipher gone wrong, with the original key?
Sep 2, 2018 at 14:12 comment added e-sushi @fgrieu The title before my edit was "autokey script gone wrong" so I'm not so sure about the rethorical interpretation. See, I merely stripped the "script gone wrong" part and added part of the body description to the title to make the title more specific. So, I did not interpret anything. I copy-and-pasted the body Q to become part of the title. Therefore, I'm reluctant to strip "autokey" from the Q as both title and body, mention it. Or are you trying to point me to something completely different and I'm misunderstanding your comment? (Could be, just woke up 5 mins ago.)

Sep 1, 2018 at 10:56 comment added fgrieu @e-sushi: the question, or at least my answer, is not about the autokey cipher, but rather is about a broken gizmo that can't be automatically decoded without plaintext redundancy. That's no longer apparent in the modified title, which no longer matches the question. Something tells me that "I tried to make a script to encode a txt with the autokey cipher" is rhetorical only..

Aug 31, 2018 at 22:50 comment added ahmid algdafe yes for the + part ... and whats known is final result and key

Aug 31, 2018 at 17:07 comment added fgrieu There seems to be typos in "vegenere chiper". Problem is, there are various forms of Vigenère cipher, some with relation to autokey. Is your $+$ such that $\mathtt R+\mathtt M\to\mathtt D$ per such table ? And exactly what is known beside $\text{key}$?

Aug 31, 2018 at 16:38 comment added ahmid algdafe its stands for vegenere chiper which uses to encode
Aug 31, 2018 at 8:35 comment added fgrieu Please clarify 1) What's known. Obviously you can't "get the original txt from the original key" alone. 2) If $\text{etxt}$ and/or $\text{final result}$ is known, exactly what the notation $+$ stands for. Is that bitwise XOR (usually noted $\oplus$, written as \oplus when within $\LaTeX$), addition, modular addition, concatenation, or some other combination?
