A
monoalphabetic substitution cipher used as early as the
1700s, and is still a staple of
cryptography as an example of a simple
cipher. Rather than substituting letters for letters it subsitutes
symbols.
I know this isn't going to look good, but here it goes.
A | B | C J | K | L
___|___|___ __.|_._|.__
| | | |
D | E | F M.| N |.O
___|___|___ ___|_._|___
| | .| . |.
G | H | I P | Q | R
\ S / \ W /
\ / \./
T V U X.V.Y
^ ^
/ \ /.\
/ V \ / Z \
To
encrypt a message take the
plaintext and replace the letters with the portion of the grid where the letter is found. For example "sample" would be
___ ___ ___
\ / | | .| | | |
\ / | .| | | | |
V ___| ___| | |.__ |___|
Simple eh! Just don't try to do this in
ASCII. :)
