Abstract

In this work it is given full description for non-endomorphic perfect ciphers which are absolutely immune against the attack on ciphertext, according to Shannon in a case when plaintext alphabet contains two elements (but ciphertext alphabet contains more than two elements). The description of these ciphers is provided in terms of linear algebra on the basis of Birkhoff’s theorem of classification of doubly stochastic matrices. The set of possible values for aprioristic probabilities of elements in ciphertext alphabet of a perfect cipher is constructed.

Keywords

perfect ciphers, non-endomorphic ciphers, maximum ciphers, doubly stochastic matrices.
