In the spirits of revitalizing the community, satisfying interests in methods of obfuscation, and finding methods of obfuscation more interesting than Pig Latin and ROT-13: I hereby dedicate this thread to discussing unusual or obscure codes and ciphers.

For example, I think that the autokey cipher is a really clever idea, even though it's not terribly secure.

I always thought it would be real cool to be a spy since there were a whole bunch of code books and spy books in the school library when i was a kid. I tried to make a spy club and was less than successful, but we still drew monsters attacking cities.

Anyways I thought it was better to have a coded message not actually be anything then have an invisible ink message there too.

A friend and I invented a code a while ago where we scrambled the letters in the words by a pattern, so it looked scrambled but really we knew which letters to move.

And that autokey stuff is cool. It reminds me of the Ceasar Cipher, but that one was easier because the same key was just repeated through the message.

..wow, this is much better than my dumb "let's talk in code" threads.

Dangit.

Speaking of codes, did you ever make up that fake language Quantum P?

The one from his game? Yeah... i have proof of it.

GOOGLE WINS.

EDIT:
Also, the insecure "numbahz cipher"

Let's assume i want to encrypt ASIEKIERKA, and my numbahz are 12345.

1234512345
ASIEKIERKA

The result is: "ATKHOIFTNE"
If an uppercase letter needs to get after Z, like
2
Z

the result would be "a" and vice versa.

You also encrypt numbers in a text. If you need to get after 9, you get 0 and vice versa.

YAY.

NOW DECODE THIS:

SVa OW EM KCLRb NTW VWWZMNK ME4 KIYPJX

and give me the code.

AHAHAHA! WRONG! YOU COULDN'T BREAK MY CODE! I ACTUALLY SAID: "fuck you all"!!

"f*** you all" IS 295f7ea4dc4f133273589c9d4d6f91de AHAHAHAHAHHAHAS

NPS, i don't swear this bad, you idiot

yeah nps

you IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! & stupid.

Here's a useful mnemonic I found for morse code:

some of those work, but a few are iffy.
