    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_of_recommendation

    A letter of recommendation or recommendation letter, also known as a letter of reference, reference letter, or simply reference, is a document in which the writer assesses the qualities, characteristics, and capabilities of the person being recommended in terms of that individual's ability to perform a particular task or function.

  3. Beaufort cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaufort_cipher

    travel to the left edge of the tableau to find the ciphertext letter ("K" in this case). To decrypt, the process is reversed. Unlike the otherwise very similar Vigenère cipher, the Beaufort cipher is a reciprocal cipher, that is, decryption and encryption algorithms are the same. This obviously reduces errors in handling the table which makes ...

    Edward Larsson's rune cipher resembling that found on the Kensington Runestone.Also includes runically unrelated blackletter writing style and pigpen cipher.. In cryptography, a cipher (or cypher) is an algorithm for performing encryption or decryption—a series of well-defined steps that can be followed as a procedure.

  5. Caesar cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_cipher

    It is a type of substitution cipher in which each letter in the plaintext is replaced by a letter some fixed number of positions down the alphabet. For example, with a left shift of 3, D would be replaced by A, E would become B, and so on. [1] The method is named after Julius Caesar, who used it in his private correspondence.

    For example, consider the plaintext: the man and the woman retrieved the letter from the post office The word "the" is a repeated string, appearing multiple times. If we line up the plaintext with a 5-character keyword "beads " : bea dsb ead sbe adsbe adsbeadsb ead sbeads bead sbe adsb eadsbe the man and the woman retrieved the letter from the ...

    For example, when cribs were lacking, Bletchley Park would sometimes ask the Royal Air Force to "seed" a particular area in the North Sea with mines (a process that came to be known as gardening, by obvious reference). The Enigma messages that were soon sent out would most likely contain the name of the area or the harbour threatened by the mines.

  8. Autokey cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autokey_cipher

    Now, that letter would be added to the end of the key: QNXEPVYTWTWP QUEENLYA a. Then, since the next letter in the key is U and the next letter in the ciphertext is N, the U row is looked across to find the N to retrieve T: QNXEPVYTWTWP QUEENLYAT at. That continues until the entire key is reconstructed, when the primer can be removed from the ...

  9. Trifid cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trifid_cipher

    The trifid cipher is a classical cipher invented by Félix Delastelle and described in 1902. [1] Extending the principles of Delastelle's earlier bifid cipher, it combines the techniques of fractionation and transposition to achieve a certain amount of confusion and diffusion: each letter of the ciphertext depends on three letters of the plaintext and up to three letters of the key.
