  2. Beaufort cipher - Wikipedia

    In the above example in the column with "m" on top one would find in the reciprocal "d" row the ciphertext "K". The same is true for decryption where ciphertext "K" combined with key "m" results in plaintext "d" as well as combining "K" with "d" results in "m". This results in "trigram" combinations where two parts suffice to identify the third.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 falls into a category of ciphers known as polygraphic substitution ciphers.

    A Captain Midnight decoder badge. A secret decoder ring (or secret decoder) is a device that allows one to decode a simple substitution cipher—or to encrypt a message by working in the opposite direction.

    The cipher's key is , the number of rails.If is known, the ciphertext can be decrypted by using the above algorithm. Values of equal to or greater than , the length of the ciphertext, are not usable, since then the ciphertext is the same as the plaintext.

    Image of Bacon's cipher. Bacon's cipher or the Baconian cipher is a method of steganographic message encoding devised by Francis Bacon in 1605. [1] [2] [3] In steganograhy, a message is concealed in the presentation of text, rather than its content.

  8. Trifid cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trifid_cipher

    The trifid cipher is a classical cipher invented by Félix Delastelle and described in 1902. [1] Extending the principles of Delastelle's earlier bifid cipher, it combines the techniques of fractionation and transposition to achieve a certain amount of confusion and diffusion: each letter of the ciphertext depends on three letters of the plaintext and up to three letters of the key.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_(cryptography)

    A one-time code is a prearranged word, phrase or symbol that is intended to be used only once to convey a simple message, often the signal to execute or abort some plan or confirm that it has succeeded or failed.
