Decoding Nazi Secrets: A Simple Cipher
complex ones. The key for a cipher used by Augustus Caesar, some 2,000 years ago, was simple enough: The receiver just had to shift the alphabet one position. In other words, "a" was represented by "b," "b" was represented by "c," and...

Code Crackers
Students begin an exploration of cryptology by first learning about two simple coding methods, the Caesar cipher and the Vigenere cipher. Students then use matrices and their inverses to create more sophisticated codes. Individual Lessons Lesson 1 - Caesar Cipher...

Vigenere Cipher
a short essay about who developed it and how it works. It is based on using two circular discs to code plaintext. The Vigenere cipher was used by the Confederates during the Civil War, and the Enigma cipher was used by the Germans in World War II....
