The paradox involves two different-sized wheels, one inside another.

So powerful and secure - yet so easy to both encode and decode messages. 5.9” diameter. Made from Maple and alder with MDF cores for stability and strength. Bottom wheel is ¼” thick, remaining wheels are .143” inch thick. All text is deeply laser engraved and should last a lifetime and more.\u003cbr\u003eWe have made historical encryption devices for many years as well as six of our own designs. I began thinking about what would be the best possible non-computer based cipher. Goals were ease of use, very highly secure, and uses letters and numbers as well four important keyboard symbols for the modern age ( @ # . \/ )\u003cbr\u003ePutting our knowledge and experience together, we developed this hand held cipher for the modern age, the Janelle Cipher. \u003cbr\u003eTo begin, set the wheels to a predetermined arrangement. As an example, perhaps line the 5 wheels such that A - 122 - 99 - 62 - 10 are all in the same column. This sets the wheels for the Encoding or decoding process. Without turning the wheels, go to the first letter in your message.\u003cbr\u003eIf the message was “ SEND HELP TO 738 MAIN ST.” then you would find “S” on the out wheel and then pick any one of the 4 numbers in the S column (143, 120, 43, or 31 in this scenario). Then go to the next letter in the message “E”. Pick any number in that column, as so forth. Since E comes up again later in the message, you would likely chose one of the other numbers in the column next time you encoded E. In this message no letter is repeated more than 4 times, so every number in the encrypted message would be different. VERY hard to decode! And next to impossible without knowing the cipher. Even if you had the cipher but didn’t know the initial key, there are 2.5+ different possible scenarios. \u003cbr\u003eNote that in long messages, the key could be changed at predetermined times, perhaps every 30th character.\u003cbr\u003eComes with full instructions and a worksheet to help you in the encoding and decoding process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMade in Hudson, FL Copyright 2020 Creative Crafthouse.

An encryption worksheet is also included which can be very helpful as you learn the code.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tap code, sometimes called the knock code, is a way to encode text messages on a letter-by-letter basis in a very simple way. The message is transmitted using a series of tap sounds, hence its name.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tap code has been commonly used by prisoners to communicate with each other. The method of communicating is usually by tapping either the metal bars, pipes or the walls inside a cell.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNote that this system is not limited in usefulness to just tapping sounds.  I could be used at night by flashlight code or in a field or ship to shore by flag waving or even ht in hand waving.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tap code is based on a Polybius square using a 5×5 grid of letters representing all the letters of the Latin alphabet, except for K, which is represented by C.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach letter is communicated by tapping two numbers, the first designating the row and the second (after a pause) designating the column. For example, to specify the letter \"B\", one taps once, pauses, and then taps twice. The listener only needs to discriminate the timing of the taps to isolate letters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe letter \"X\" is used to break up sentences, and \"K\" for acknowledgments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause of the difficulty and length of time required for specifying a single letter, prisoners often devise abbreviations and acronyms for common items or phrases, such as \"GN\" for Good night, or \"GBU\" for God bless you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy comparison, Morse code is harder to send by tapping or banging because a single tap will fade out and thus has no discernible length. Morse code, however, requires the ability to create two distinguishable lengths (or types) of taps. To simulate Morse by tapping therefore requires either two different sounds (pitch, volume), or very precise timing, so that a dash within a character (e.g. the character N, ▄▄▄ ▄ ) remains distinguishable from a dot at the end of a character (e.g. E-E, ▄  ▄ ). Morse code also takes longer to learn. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLearning the tap system simply requires one to know the alphabet and the short sequence \"AFLQV\" (the initial letter of each row), without memorising the entire grid. For example, if a person hears four knocks, they can think \"A... F... L... Q\". If after a pause there are three knocks, they think \"Q... R... S\" to arrive at the letter S.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo view a video on this cipher, copy and paste this link\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/q4lI6_V6SqA\u0026lt;br\/\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\/\u0026gt;Materials:\"\u003ehttps:\/\/youtu.be\/q4lI6_V6SqA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/a\u003e Wood","brand":"Creative Crafthouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50680633655480,"sku":"TapCode","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0642\/1125\/5480\/files\/tap-code-cipher-set-of-2-creative-crafthouse-596125.jpg?v=1762102684"},{"product_id":"enigma-slide-cipher-linear-encryption-tool","title":"Enigma Slide Cipher | Linear Rule Encryption Cipher","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Enigma slide rule cipher utilizes classic Vigenere polyalphabetic substitution logic in an easy to use yet very secure manner.
