    It is very easy to break though, as it is a simple substitution cipher. A mere frequency analysis gives it away, the longer the ciphertext the easier to crack. But it is indeed one of the more elegant ciphers that can be used to hide stuff from mom and dad and at the same time, have a lot of fun. Great video, nice animation! Thumbs up!

      Thanks! You are right, Definitely not secure as I mentioned :) but still a good first one to learn.

      If it’s so easy then where is La Buse’s treasure?

    Can numbers be used instead of letters in this encryption?

      It’s not built in to this scheme. But you could modify it to work I bet

      @@MathVisualProofs There is a password that I cannot decipher and it is pigpen but I could not interpret it.And this one had numbers instead of letters, so I asked, thank you.

      @@ishwany hmm interesting. There might be a standard way of adding numbers that I don’t know.

    u can add a little variation to it which only u know ( or whoever u tell how the changed cipher works )

      For sure! Will still not be very secure as all mono-alphabetic substitution ciphers will fall easily to frequency analysis. :)

    I always wondered how it worked. Thank you for your video.

      Yes it did help very much.
      My society has used it for 100s of year's. I've seen this cipher but didn't know what it was until I started digging. Thank you
