It contains different codes where very applicable to all of you who loves mysteries. I also includes all of my learnings and studies that talks about unfamiliar ideas or codes stuffs. I make it for my own book and I want to share it to all of my co...
> The Beaufort cipher, created by Sir Francis Beaufort, is a substitution cipher similar to the Vigenère cipher, with a slightly modified enciphering mechanism and tableau. Its most famous application was in a rotor-based cipher machine, the Hagelin M-209.

Using the cipherEdit
To encrypt, first choose the plaintext character from the top row of the tableau; call this column P. Secondly, travel down column P to the corresponding key letter K. Finally, move directly left from the key letter to the left edge of the tableau, the ciphertext encryption of plaintext P with key K will be there.
For example if encrypting plain text character "d" with key "m" the steps would be:
1)find the column with "d" on the top,travel down that column to find key "m", 2)travel to the left edge of the tableau 3)to find the ciphertext letter ("J" in this case).
To decrypt, the process is reversed. The Beaufort cipher is a reciprocal cipher, that is, decryption and encryption algorithms are the same.
