A secret decoder ring (or secret decoder) is a device that allows one to decode a simple substitution cipher—or to encrypt a message by working in the opposite direction. [ 1 ] As inexpensive toys, secret decoders have often been used as promotional items by retailers, as well as radio and television programs, from the 1930s through to the ...
Hexspeak is a novelty form of variant English spelling using the hexadecimal digits. Created by programmers as memorable magic numbers, hexspeak words can serve as a clear and unique identifier with which to mark memory or data.
The design had the cipher alphabet and number disks coupled by friction, and there was often slippage when trying to decipher a message. Unlike any other Code-O-Graph, the cipher-key settings utilized a pointer on the back, and a number scale from 1 through 26. Each would increment the positioning of the two scales. 1941 Key-O-Matic Code-O-Graph
The second division was a code book of 94 pages with 94 entries on each page. A code point was assigned for each number up to 94. Thus, only two symbols needed to be sent to transmit an entire sentence – the page and line numbers of the code book, compared to four symbols using the ten-symbol code. In 1799, three additional divisions were added.
To encode an integer N: . Find the largest Fibonacci number equal to or less than N; subtract this number from N, keeping track of the remainder.; If the number subtracted was the i th Fibonacci number F(i), put a 1 in place i − 2 in the code word (counting the left most digit as place 0).

Between Silk and Cyanide by Leo Marks, HarperCollins (1998), ISBN 0-00-255944-7.Marks was the Head of Codes at SOE and this book is an account of his struggle to introduce better encryption for use by field agents. it contains more than 20 previously unpublished code poems by Marks, as well as descriptions of how they were used and by whom.
001010011 1. 2 leading zeros in 001 2. read 2 more bits i.e. 00101 3. decode N+1 = 00101 = 5 4. get N = 5 − 1 = 4 remaining bits for the complete code i.e. '0011' 5. encoded number = 2 4 + 3 = 19 This code can be generalized to zero or negative integers in the same ways described in Elias gamma coding.
