Symmetric

The Vernam Cipher, also known as the "One-Time Pad," is a powerful and unbreakable encryption technique known for its exceptional security when used correctly. It falls under the category of symmetric encryption, where both the sender and recipient share the same secret key.

A book cipher is a method of encryption and decryption that employs a physical book or text as the key. In this technique, secret messages are concealed by referencing specific words or passages from the book to encode and decode information. To encrypt a message, each word in the plaintext is replaced with a corresponding word or phrase found at a predetermined location within the chosen book.
