it’s a substitution method...substitute each letter in the alphabet with a different number, letter, or symbol.
For instance,
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
--------------------------------------
ZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKJIHGFEDCBA
A=Z
and so on. |

That’s okay...I’ll look around and see if there’s a good tutorial site, since it’s hard to teach without pictures.
I’ve dabbled in ciphers before...some fairly complicated ones, too. There was one called a "keyword cipher". Basically, take a keyword, and eliminate all duplicate letters from it. For example: COBRA. It has no repeated letters, so you don’t need to change it. Now, write it out, and write out the rest of the alphabet, in order, but without the letters in the keyword!
COBRADEFGHIJKLMNPQSTUVWXYZ
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
So...
"This site is awesome!"
becomes
"TFGS SGTA GS CWASMKA!"
I’m also inventing writing systems for my fantasy writing, but that’s something entirely different... |

Hey guys you have got to try this new code I made up . You need a scientific calculator, pen and paper (If you don’t have a scientific calculator, there may be one on your family computer). Write on your paper this:(Just the cipher)
The Cipher:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
A=1
and so on.
1.Change the calculator to Hexidecimal letters.(You can do that be pressing 2 function then pressing the Hexidecimal button, or just pressing the Hexidecimal button if your calculator says to do that)
2.Choose a letter A-F in the Scientific Calculator(let’s just say I chose F)
3.Write your message and encript it with the encription cipher (let’s say I wrote Danger encripted would be 4-1-14-7-5-18 [The reason I put dashes in between the numbers is because you will get confused with the numbers if there is no dashes between them])
4.Take your calculator and type in the first letter of 4-1-14-7-5-18 and multiply it by your chosen letter and do the same for each number between the dashes. Danger would be 3C-F-12C-69-4B-168.
5.Next remove all dashes between the lines and replace the dashes with a letter from
G-Z. (I’ll choose K) So now the message will look like this: 3CKFK12CK69K4BK168K.
6.To decipher it, remove the K’s or chosen letter and replace the spaces with dashes.
Next, divide each letter between the dashes by the chosen letter (My chosen letter is F) then the cipher will be the same as step 3, and all you have to do is change the numbers to letters using the cipher.
Try choosing a friend that knows the chosen letter in the Scientific Calculator, or just write your chosen letter as the very first letter or number, for instance: F3CKFK12CK69K4BK168K and all you have to do is circle the first letter and divide each of the numbers by that letter.
Good luck! |
