  Cipher - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Historical pen and paper ciphers used in the past are sometimes known as classical ciphers.
Simple ciphers were replaced by polyalphabetic substitution ciphers which changed the substitution alphabet for every letter.
Symmetric key ciphers can be distinguished into two types, depending on whether they work on blocks of symbols of fixed size (block ciphers), or on a continuous stream of symbols (stream ciphers).

 Fred Cohen & Associates
We begin with a classification scheme for ciphers given by Gary Knight [Knight78] in the first of a series of articles which posed ciphers to the reader, and after a given period of time demonstrated reader solutions along with explanations of how they solved the ciphers.
The 'wheel cipher' was invented by Thomas Jefferson around 1795, and although he never did very much with it, a very similar system was still in use by the US navy only a few years ago.
The rotor is thus a "progressive key polyalphabetic substitution cipher with a mixed alphabet and a period of 26".

The CE ciphers given in The Cryptogram are all solvable by pencil and paper methods, although computers and other mechanical aids are often used to assist.
Cipher substitutes are found at the other corners of that rectangle, first in square 2, the second in square 4.
The cipher equivalents are those letters forming the opposite corners of a rectangle determined by the pt pair.

 Trifid cipher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thus the trifid was the first practical trigraphic substitution.
In this way, each ciphertext character depends on three plaintext characters, so the trifid is a trigraphic cipher.
Thus, in a sense, the trifid cipher can be thought to stand on the border between classical cryptography's ancient Polybius square, and the binary manipulations of the modern world.

 Substitution cipher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A monoalphabetic cipher uses fixed substitution over the entire message, whereas a polyalphabetic cipher uses a number of substitutions at different times in the message—such as with homophones, where a unit from the plaintext is mapped to one of several possibilities in the ciphertext.
The cipher alphabet may be shifted or reversed (creating the Caesar and Atbash ciphers, respectively) or scrambled in a more complex fashion, in which case it is called a mixed alphabet or deranged alphabet.
Modern stream ciphers can also be seen, from a sufficiently abstract perspective, to be a form of polyalphabetic cipher in which all the effort has gone into making the keystream as long and unpredictable as possible.

 Autokey cipher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An autokey cipher is a cipher which incorporates the message (the plaintext) into the key.
The first autokey cipher was invented by Girolamo Cardano, and, although it contained a weakness that made it easy to break, a number of attempts were made by other cryptographers to produce an autokey system that was not trivial to break; eventually one was invented by Blaise de Vigenère.
Most modern stream ciphers are based on pseudorandom number generators: the key is used to initialize the generator, and either key bytes or plaintext bytes are fed back into the generator to produce more bytes.

 Atbash - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
It is a very weak cipher because it only has one possible key, and it is a simple monoalphabetic substitution cipher.
The Atbash cipher is referenced in Google's Da Vinci Code Quest, in which participants must decode a common word from Atbash.
A secret message is set to use the atbash cipher at this point in reading the document.

 Playfair cipher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Playfair cipher or Playfair square is a manual symmetric encryption technique and was the first literal digraph substitution cipher.
When only the ciphertext is known, brute force cryptanalysis of the cipher involves searching through the key space for matches between the frequency of occurrence of digrams (pairs of letters) and the known frequency of occurrence of digrams in the assumed language of the original message.
The cipher lends itself well to crossword puzzles, because the plaintext is found by solving one set of clues, while the ciphertext is found by solving others.

 The Bifid, the Trifid, and the Straddling Checkerboard   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
This is the Bifid cipher of Delastelle, and the general principle of this form of cipher is called seriation.
This is one of the most secure pencil-and-paper ciphers that is still used by hobbyists as a puzzle.
The Trifid, also due to Delastelle, is the analogous cipher using a 27-letter alphabet represented by three symbols from 1 to 3:

 [3.0] The Rise Of Field Ciphers
It was known as the "le chiffre indechiffrable (the indecipherable cipher)".
Given that the standard Vigenere cipher was based on a Ceasar shift, Holmes could easily figure out the shift by observing a Pareto chart of the frequency distribution of the set and comparing it to a Pareto chart of the frequency distribution of average English text.
One significant change was that the eight single-digit cipher letters were assigned to the eight most common plaintext letters, improving the efficiency of the cipher, as well as helping to conceal the first digits of the two-digit cipher letters by reducing their frequency.

 Lanaki Lesson 12
The numbers associated with any given cipher letter represent a stretch of 10 consecutive values along a normal alphabet such as C to L or X to G, we could prepare a table with A to Z as the rows and 9 to 0 as the columns.
This conversion is possible because the sequence of letters forming the cipher component has been reconstructed and was known, and the uniliteral distributions for the respective secondary cipher alphabets could theoretically be shifted to correct superimpositions for monoalphabeticity.
In summary, we have seen that the chaining process between cipher texts applies to the latent characteristics of the cipher components, regardless of the identity of the plain components and regardless whether direct or indirect symmetry is involved in the cryptosystems.

 Lanaki Lesson 11
Since cipher letter G is involved, we place the G under the I which results in the Y we already had and putting G under the U gives us M under the A, we choose the latter.
Using the previous example, we let the first ten cipher letters in each alphabet be set down in a horizontal line and the assumption is made that the alphabets are direct standard with normal sequences.
If reversed standard alphabets are used, we must convert the cipher letters of each isolated alphabet into their normal, plain component equivalents, and then proceed as in the case of direct standard alphabets.
