To take it up to a near impossible to decipher message, add a number to the key, say 3. Then with each letter deciphered, you count up 3 letters further on the alphabet and use that letter instead.
Since pm of Pakistan Mr Khan ousted from office I have been searching and learning what is cipher and how to write it. I would like to say this video class on producing cipher is brilliant and very simple and perfectly coded. Thank you to teach me cipher writing. šš
There was a POW in Vietnam who used a lesson he recalled from his time in Boy Scouts to maintain encrypted communication with the other POWs captured with him, to keep everyone in contact, keep up morale, maintain chain of command, and more. It's really simple. It's a 5x5 grid (dropping C, though I'd drop K) so D is in row 1, column 4, so they'd knock once, then four times to communicate D. Personally I used a modified 6x6 grid to avoid both dropping letters, and adding 0-9. I've used it to communicate covertly on more occasions and in more ways than I'm willing to divulge but it's been a great lesson. This can be combined with all the tools Andrew has included here as well.
Great explanation - thank you - very useful in post SHTF environment for vast majority of people. As a retired 98B (Cryptanalyst) should one of my 98G's (Voice Intercept Operator) intercept this, I would do 2 things - 1. Letter Frequency Count - especially common digraphs or double letters and/or 2. Crib drag - gosh do I use a lot of graph paper

Love the way you explained it.was quiet easy to grasp.looking forward to more knowledge empowerment from you.Thank you Sir.
This is similar in nature to a Caesar Cipher system, but using a Key Letter. Excellent, and simple to follow. Thanks for sharing!
Appreciate the great length that you go to deliver this content for free
omgggg i understand u! more than my teacher!!!
Omg ty so much for this Iām so interested in all these stuff iMa show my friends and family to outsmart them haha
This is to be used between friends only since any cryptologist can break it. Only a created codebook with same number of letters (4, for example), combined with an One Time Pad, has proved to be impossible to break. The codes than transformed into a cipher, provide an second layer of security.
Good stuff. Keep it rolling...
Thank you š greetings from Tehran Iran
Also as a note, cypher security breaks down with message length as it is subject to statistical attacks.
Thanks for opening instructions. There must be a program in today's techno age where you upload an basic aap and it goes through the alphabet pulling the pattern and decrypt. say If the English, only 26 letters , so shouldn't be too hard. Gonna practise these technique with my little smart niece who would get a kick out of this.
This type of single encrypted message can easily be decoded without knowing the key letter by simply decoding the 26 possibilities and seeing which version actually makes sense plus or minus a key letter in the message
Loved this video the most
Best teaching ever thanks
You've got to know better cipher's than that, thats got to be the most crack-able cipher of all time! Are most ciphers math based these days or is their still use for key letter ciphers or T9 ciphers?
