About: Running key cipher

An Entity of Type: noble, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In classical cryptography, the running key cipher is a type of polyalphabetic substitution cipher in which a text, typically from a book, is used to provide a very long keystream. Usually, the book to be used would be agreed ahead of time, while the passage to be used would be chosen randomly for each message and secretly indicated somewhere in the message.
