title: "Cipher Detective AI: an educational classical-cryptanalysis exhibit"
abstract: >
  Cipher Detective AI is a Hugging Face-native educational project that combines
  transparent classical cryptanalysis signals (frequency analysis, index of
  coincidence, entropy, Caesar/Atbash/Vigenère indicators) with an optional
  small Transformer classifier to identify classical cipher families. It is
  designed as a teaching exhibit, not as a tool for breaking modern encryption.
