Algorithms
What is a type of cipher that uses a table in which
allows someone to translate
letters into numbers?
Pigpen Cipher
Polybius Square
Keyword Cipher
Caesar cipher
What is a type of cipher that is a classic example of ancient cryptography that involves shifting each letter of the plaintext message by a certain number of letters?
Pigpen Cipher
Polybius Square
Keyword Cipher
Caesar cipher

What is a type of cipher that instead of replaces
each letter with another letter, the letters are
replaced by symbols?
Pigpen Cipher
Polybius Square
Keyword Cipher
Caesar cipher
Type of cipher that uses the same substitution
across the entire message. For example, if you know that the
letter A is enciphered as the letter K, this will hold true for the
entire message.
Plygraphic Cipher
Polyalphabetic cipher
Keyword Cipher
Monoalphabetic cipher
It is a type of cipher that is a form of monoalphabetic
substitution. A keyword is used to determine the letter mapping
from plain to ciphertext. First, the repeated letters in the keyword
are removed, and then the cipher alphabet is generated.
Pigpen Cipher
Polybius Square
Keyword Cipher
