The pigpen cipher (alternatively referred to as the masonic cipher, Freemason's cipher, Rosicrucian cipher, Napoleon cipher, and tic-tac-toe cipher) [2] [3] is a geometric simple substitution cipher, which exchanges letters for symbols which are fragments of a grid. The example key shows one way the letters can be assigned to the grid.
Step-by-step process for the double columnar transposition cipher. In cryptography, a transposition cipher (also known as a permutation cipher) is a method of encryption which scrambles the positions of characters ( transposition) without changing the characters themselves. Transposition ciphers reorder units of plaintext (typically characters ...
The Triangular Book of St. Germain or The Triangular Manuscript is an untitled 18th-century French text written in code, and attributed to the famous Count of St. Germain. It takes its name from its physical shape: the binding and sheets of vellum that comprise the manuscript are in the shape of an equilateral triangle.
Move 1 red to the empty hole. Move 2 blue by jumping one over the red one, and move the other blue one next to the red one. Move 3 reds by jumping the last red one over a blue one with an empty ...
Four-square cipher. The four-square cipher is a manual symmetric encryption technique. [1] It was invented by the French cryptographer Felix Delastelle . The technique encrypts pairs of letters ( digraphs ), and thus falls into a category of ciphers known as polygraphic substitution ciphers. This adds significant strength to the encryption when ...
Location. George Bush Center for Intelligence, Langley, Virginia. Coordinates. 38°57′08″N 77°08′45″W. / 38.95227°N 77.14573°W / 38.95227; -77.14573. Kryptos is a distributed sculpture by the American artist Jim Sanborn located on the grounds of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) headquarters, the George Bush Center for ...
Caesar cipher. The action of a Caesar cipher is to replace each plaintext letter with a different one a fixed number of places down the alphabet. The cipher illustrated here uses a left shift of 3, so that (for example) each occurrence of E in the plaintext becomes B in the ciphertext. In cryptography, a Caesar cipher, also known as Caesar's ...
A telegraph code is one of the character encodings used to transmit information by telegraphy. Morse code is the best-known such code. Telegraphy usually refers to the electrical telegraph, but telegraph systems using the optical telegraph were in use before that. A code consists of a number of code points, each corresponding to a letter of the ...
