    Example cryptogram. When decoded it reads: "Style and structure are the essence of a book; great ideas are hogwash." -Vladimir Nabokov. A cryptogram is a type of puzzle that consists of a short piece of encrypted text. [1] Generally the cipher used to encrypt the text is simple enough that the cryptogram can be solved by hand.

  4. Aristocrat Cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristocrat_Cipher

    The following example demonstrates the process of encrypting a message using the K2 Aristocrat Cipher, employing the keyword "jumping" and the phrase "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." This particular phrase is often used in cryptographic examples because it is a pangram. This makes it ideal for demonstrating encryption and ...

  5. Pigpen cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigpen_cipher

    The pigpen cipher uses graphical symbols assigned according to a key similar to the above diagram. [1]The pigpen cipher (alternatively referred to as the masonic cipher, Freemason's cipher, Rosicrucian cipher, Napoleon cipher, and tic-tac-toe cipher) [2] [3] is a geometric simple substitution cipher, which exchanges letters for symbols which are fragments of a grid.

  6. Vigenère cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vigenère_cipher

    For example, suppose that the plaintext to be encrypted is attackatdawn. The person sending the message chooses a keyword and repeats it until it matches the length of the plaintext, for example, the keyword "LEMON": LEMONLEMONLE. Each row starts with a key letter. The rest of the row holds the letters A to Z (in shifted order).

  7. Caesar cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_cipher

    The cipher illustrated here uses a left shift of 3, so that (for example) each occurrence of E in the plaintext becomes B in the ciphertext. In cryptography , a Caesar cipher , also known as Caesar's cipher , the shift cipher , Caesar's code , or Caesar shift , is one of the simplest and most widely known encryption techniques.

  9. Autokey cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autokey_cipher

    The autokey cipher, as used by members of the American Cryptogram Association, starts with a relatively-short keyword, the primer, and appends the message to it.For example, if the keyword is QUEENLY and the message is attack at dawn, then the key would be QUEENLYATTACKATDAWN.
