Codes and Ciphers: Pig Pen Cipher

The document discusses several codes and ciphers: The Pig Pen Cipher replaces letters with patterns of dots and lines and requires remembering where dots are placed. The Caesar Cipher uses two discs with the alphabet that can be moved to encrypt letters. Morse Code represents letters and numbers with a series of dots and dashes for communication. The Enigma Code was a machine used by Germans in WWII that had wheels and wires to encrypt messages daily in a changing code. The Null Cipher adds extra letters to sentences to confuse but the first letter of each word reveals a hidden message.

Codes and Ciphers

Pig Pen Cipher


The Pig Pen Cipher is an easy code where individual
letters are replaced with a mixture of patterns made of lines
and dots. It is important to remember the dots where
necessary though as the patterns are quite similar.

Caesar Cipher
The Caesar Cipher is made of two circles both with
the twenty five letters of the alphabet on. The two discs are
moved so that the decoded letters become different
encoded letters. For example: If you move the encoded disc
by one to the right, HELLO would spell IFMMP (A = B, B = C).

Morse Code
Morse code is a code where each letter and number have a series of
dots and dashes. This can be written but is more commonly spoken on
ships, control towers. Etc. SOS would be . . . - - - . . . (short, short, short,
long, long, long, short, short, short).

The Enigma Code

The Enigma Code was a machine used by the Germans in World War
II consisting of several wheels and wires. Every day, the code would
change making it more difficult to decode for the enemy. Pressing a letter
(like a typewriter) would light up the encoded letter on the screen.
German officers would be given a list of all the codes for the Enigma
Machine.

Null Cipher
The Null Cipher is where normal letters are used to create a
sentence, but extra letters are added in for confusion. For Example:
Skunk avalanche vertical easy yesterday October usually remove serious
everlasting lap forever makes no sense, but if you use the first letter of
each word, it spells: save yourself.
