Frequency-Analyzer

==================

This Frequency-Analyzer library provides many of the basic methods for dissecting and analyzing

a cryptogram or a body of text. Frequency analysis is an important technique for cryptanalysis

and computational linguistics.

Although many cryptography books were consulted in writing this code, such as: "Cryptanalysis: A Study of Ciphers and Their Solution" by Helen F. Gaines, there was no existing easy to use and lightweight library for doing automatic solutions. 

Provided Examples

-----------------

* Automatic encryption/decryption of substitution ciphers

* Encryption help with/attempted automated decryption of Vigenere ciphers

* Automatically solving a shredder puzzle (see unit test: ShredderSolverTest)
