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.

Caesar Cipher
Description
An account of the resource
The Caesar Cipher is one of the oldest ciphers, used by Julius Caesar to communicate with his generals. It works by shifting the alphabet down by a fixed number, or key. Due to the simplicity, it can be broken if the crypanalyst knows that a simple substitution method has been used to get the ciphertext, or the Caesar Cipher itself.<br /><br />One method of deciphering a Caesar Cipher is by using a brute approach and noting the frequency of each letter used- then comparing those frequencies to a frequency distribution chart of the alphabet. For example, 'E' is the most freqently used letter in the alphabet. Theoretically, if 'G' is the most freqently used letter in the ciphertext, you may able to shift the alphabets so that 'E' aligns with 'G' to decipher the rest of the ciphertext.

Cipher tools and machines
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.

Description
An account of the resource
The scytale is known as the first cryptographic device, used in 400 B.C. by the Spartans. It consisted of a baton and a papyrus strips with letters. These papyrus strips would only reveal the message sent between Spartan generals if the baton they were wrapped around had the same dimensions as the one that the message was written on.
