Classical Ciphers and Application
Description
An account of the resource
Classical Ciphers and Application features analyses of various ciphers- including classical ciphers and the application of ciphers used during WWII. The purpose of the collection is to explain how classical ciphers work and show the patterns among substitution (replacement) and transposition(scramble) ciphers. For further understanding in application, it attempts to provide an analysis of the famous substitution ciphers- the Zimmerman Telegram and WWII Pigeon Cipher.

Route Cipher
Description
An account of the resource
A Route Cipher is a type of transposition cipher where you write the message into a grid box and read the letters in a certain route. This cipher was used by the Union forces during the Civil War. However, they took care to use it in a way that moved entire words around. In addition, sometimes the would encode a word or add null words to protect their message.
In order to create a route cipher, the dimensions of the put the plaintext in and decide what route you want it to follow. Once that is decided, the ciphertext becomes the letters in the order of the route. Therefore, decrypting a message requires the grid dimensions and route path as keys.

Pigpen Cipher
Description
An account of the resource
The Pigpen Cipher is a form of substitution cipher that uses symbols, rather than other letters. Although its origin is unknown, this cipher was most famously used by the Freemasons in the 18th century- to the point that some know it as the Freemasons Cipher. However, it was also used during the Civil War. Imprisoned Union soldiers used it as a method of communication, while in Confederate camps.
The image for this entry shows the easiest way to remember what the symbols are for each letter. The symbol for each letter is the part of the grid/dot pattern that contains the letter. These symbols can be transposed directly without any rotation.

Description
An account of the resource
Cipher Tools and Machines contains examples of cipher tools and machines seen through out history, particularly within the context of military history. From Ancient Greece to the Cold War, cryptology has played a significant part in the communication and intelligence efforts between opposing forces.
They, along with cryptanalysts, have even been credited with shortening the duration of wars. Without the British intelligence project ULTRA, WWII may have lasted for another two years. However, while many great cryptanalysts hail from Britain, the UK is not exclusive in their cryptographic abilities. The Enigma was invented in Germany, and its stronger rendition, Fialka- in Russia. In comparison to these cryptomachines, the US SIGABA remains unbroken. Those are only a few cipher machines flound in this collection.

The Giddings Field Message Book was used in 1898 during the Spanish-American War. Designed by Major Howard A. Giddings of the Brigadier Signal Officer Office of the Connecticut National Guard, it composed of a pocket pad with a built in US Army Cipher Disc. This Cipher Disc was the same as the Confederate Cipher Disc.
