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.
