Codes
Caesar Cipher – This is an online, Java-Script enabled version of a Caesar cipher program, for you to try. Also, there is a FREE version of the Caesar cipher program that can be downloaded.
AutoKey Cipher – This is an online, Java-Script enabled version of an AutoKey cipher program, for you to try.
Keyword Cipher – This is an online, Java-Script enabled version of a Keyword cipher program, for you to try. Also, there is a FREE Keyword Cipher Cracker program that can be downloaded. This program was written by Peter Conrad (there is a link to Peter’s website on the Author’s page). This program will “break” many secret messages that have been enciphered with a Keyword Cipher.
Monoalphabetic Substitution Cipher Solver – This is a FREE Zip file download of a program package that contains everything needed to crack most monoalphabetic substitution ciphers (cryptograms). This program was written by Chris Card for Secret Code Breaker. The program display is illustrated here Cipher Solver program screen.
Polyalphabetic Crypto Program – This is a FREE Zip file download that contains a Visual Basic program and an Instruction text file. The program performs polyalphabetic encryption and decryption using a cipher alphabet of any desired sequence and character content of up to 39 characters in length. The key has no length limitation. This program is particularly useful for performing encryption and decryption when a cipher alphabet is being used that is different from the usual Vigenere 26 character alphabet. It also allows a ‘codemaker’ to create a polyalphabetic cipher system of his own design. In addition, a crib dragging function has been added to enable the user to crack many polyalphabetic ciphers when the cipher alphabet and a plaintext word is known. The PolyAlphabetic Crypto Program is extremely flexible and a very useful crypto tool. It was written for Secret Code Breaker by David Smith.
Secret Code Breaker Steganography Program. – This is a FREE Zip file download that contains a Windows program (Instructions can be found in the Help menu), a bit map image file (for hiding an encrypted message) and example text files. The program performs monoalphabetic encryption and decryption using a keyword to create a 26 character cipher alphabet and hides ciphertext in a bit map image file. This program is intended as a teaching aid in the understanding of how basic computer steganography works. The SCB Steganography Program is extremely easy to use and very useful for understanding computer based steganography. It was written for Secret Code Breaker by Tom Jones, Vice-President, SigmaSIX LLC an engineering and manufacturing company located in the Detroit, Michigan area.
Secret Code Breaker Word Pattern Program. – This is a FREE Zip file download that contains a Windows program (Instructions can be found in the Help menu) and a set of Word Pattern files for words up to 19 letters long. The program performs word look-ups based on the letter pattern of monoalphabetic encryption. There is also a ‘crib’ function for cases in which one or more letters of the unknown word are known, thus narrowing down the possibile results. This program was written for Secret Code Breaker by Christopher Patuzzo, a 16 year old British lad that recently won a scholarship based on his programming skills.
Secret Code Breaker Transposition Cipher Program. – This is a FREE Zip file download that contains a Windows program that can perform Single and Double Transposition Encryptions and Decryptions. The program uses a KEY (Number or Word) of up to nine (9) characters in length and automatically supplies padding characters (X) when needed. This program was written for Secret Code Breaker by Christopher Patuzzo, who also wrote the Secret Code Breaker Word Pattern Program.
Cipher Disk Templates – Two pages of Cipher Disk Templates( Page 1 – Page 2 ) that can be printed out, pasted to card stock, cutout and used to create your own Secret Code Breaker Cipher Disks that are a part of the Secret Code Breaker – Secret Message Kit. Two pieces for a Caesar Cipher Disk and five pieces for a Mexican Army Cipher Disk. You’ll need both pages and if you use a contrasting color (light blue, yellow) paper for one of the pages, the disks will be easier to read when assembled.
Actual Coded Secret Messages – This list contains a few of the coded secret messages from the Secret Code Breaker Publications that can be “broken” using the software provided with these “Handbooks.”
