Cipher

The Columnar cipher is a transposition cipher that rearranges the characters of a message by writing them in a grid format and then reading them column by column in a specific order. It does not change the actual characters but alters their order to create the ciphertext.

Here's how the Columnar cipher works:

Cicada 3301 is a mysterious and enigmatic online puzzle or alternate reality game that gained notoriety for its complexity and anonymity. It first appeared in January 2012 with a series of cryptic puzzles and challenges, often posted on various internet forums and websites.

The puzzles typically involve a combination of cryptography, steganography, computer programming, and knowledge of various disciplines. Solving these challenges often requires a deep understanding of diverse subjects and analytical skills.

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.

The Bifid Cipher is a Fractionating Transposition cryptographic technique that was invented by the French amateur cryptographer Félix Delastelle in 1901. It is a fractionating transposition cipher that combines elements of both substitution and transposition methods.

The Bifid Cipher operates on a square grid known as the Polybius square or Polybius checkerboard. This square consists of a 5x5 grid containing the letters of the alphabet (usually excluding the letter 'J').

The encryption process in the Bifid Cipher involves the following steps:

The Beale Cipher, also known as the Beale Papers, is a cryptographic mystery that revolves around a supposed hidden treasure buried in the United States. The Beale Cipher is attributed to Thomas J. Beale, who allegedly discovered the treasure in the early 19th century.
