Difference between Cipher and Code

Cipher vs. Code

In cryptography, a cipher (or cypher) is an algorithm for performing encryption or decryption—a series of well-defined steps that can be followed as a procedure. In communications and information processing, code is a system of rules to convert information—such as a letter, word, sound, image, or gesture—into another form or representation, sometimes shortened or secret, for communication through a communication channel or storage in a storage medium.

Similarities between Cipher and Code

Cipher and Code have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Algorithm, Code (cryptography), Commercial code (communications), History of cryptography, Telegraphy.

Algorithm

In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm is an unambiguous specification of how to solve a class of problems.

Code (cryptography)

Cryptography in simple terms means the use of any alphabet or numerical statement which has a meaning or stores a message.

History of cryptography

Cryptography, the use of codes and ciphers to protect secrets, began thousands of years ago.

Telegraphy

Telegraphy (from Greek: τῆλε têle, "at a distance" and γράφειν gráphein, "to write") is the long-distance transmission of textual or symbolic (as opposed to verbal or audio) messages without the physical exchange of an object bearing the message.

Cipher and Code Comparison

Cipher has 52 relations, while Code has 128. As they have in common 5, the Jaccard index is 2.78% = 5 / (52 + 128).
