  Solitaire
The system is called "Solitaire" (in the novel, "Pontifex" is a code name intended to temporarily conceal the fact that it employs a deck of cards) and I designed it to allow field agents to communicate securely without having to rely on electronics or having to carry incriminating tools.
Solitaire may be low-tech, but its security is intended to be high-tech.
Solitaire is strong even if the enemy knows you are using it, and a simple deck of playing cards is still much less incriminating than a software encryption program running on your laptop, but the algorithm is no substitute for street smarts.

 Solitaire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Solitaire or Patience is any of a family of single-player card games of a generally similar character, but varying greatly in detail.
The term 'solitaire' is also used for single-player games of concentration and skill using a set layout of tiles, pegs or stones rather than cards.
Before this, literature about solitaire (or "patience" as it was known at the time) was non-existent, not even in such books as Charles Cotton's The Compleat Gamester (1674), Abbé Bellecour's Academie des Jeux (1674), and Bohn's Handbook of Games (1850), all of which are used as reference on card games.
