|
||||
It uses an array of Caesar ciphers and cycles between them based on a key.
|
||||
This makes it more secure, but if you are not carful in your message or have a short key it will still output recognizable paterns that can be easily broken.

#Atbash Cipher
|
||||
The Atbash cipher is a simple cipher that basically reverses the alphabet.
|
||||
A=Z, B=Y, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
#Playfair Cipher
|
||||
This cipher is a little more complex.
|
||||
It uses a key to create a grid of letters that is then used to encode 2 letters at a time. It is a simple form of 16-bit encryption.
|
||||
It is still fairly simple to learn to do by hand, just time consuming if it is a long message or if you are trying to crack the key.
|
||||
|
||||
#Morse Code
|
||||
This is technically not encryption, but it is not exactly English either.
|
||||
It was used originally on the telegraph and was considered an efficient way to send messages at that time.
|
||||
The dots and dashes are representative of long and short pulses from a speaker.
