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.

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.
