The knock code is featured in Arthur Koestler's 1941 work Darkness at Noon. [6] Kurt Vonnegut's 1952 novel Player Piano also includes a conversation between prisoners using a form of tap code. The code used in the novel is more primitive and does not make use of the Polybius square (e.g. "P" consists of sixteen taps in a row).
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.
A tabula recta for use with an autokey cipher. An autokey cipher (also known as the autoclave cipher) is a cipher that incorporates the message (the plaintext) into the key. ...
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. 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 .
A key generator [1] [2] [3] is a protocol or algorithm that is used in many cryptographic protocols to generate a sequence with many pseudo-random characteristics. This sequence is used as an encryption key at one end of communication, and as a decryption key at the other.
High level view of the use of online codes. The online encoding algorithm consists of several phases. First the message is split into n fixed size message blocks. Then the outer encoding is an erasure code which produces auxiliary blocks that are appended to the message blocks to form a composite message. From this the inner encoding generates ...

In the book Red Dragon, Hannibal Lecter uses a book code to encrypt a message to the Tooth Fairy killer, with the message containing the home address of Will Graham, who is investigating the case, and the message, "Save yourself. Kill them all", with the intent of having Will and his family fall victim to the killer.
