Substitution Techniques
Caesar Cipher
Caesar cipher was earlier known as substitution cipher. Julius Caesar made its attested use in military affairs. Its core idea is to replace one basic unit (letter/byte) with another. It replaces each letter by third letter. For example:
PLAIN: meet me after the toga party
CIPHER: PHHW PH DIWHU WKH WRJD SDUWB
Monoalphabetic Cipher In this technique instead of simply moving the 26 alphabets, the letters could be rearranged discretionally. Each plaintext letter shows a different arbitrary ciphertext letter.
Play Fair Cipher
This technique does not provide enough security though large numbers of keys are used in monoalphabetic cipher. Numerous letters can be encrypted to deal with

It is unbreakable since ciphertext has no information of the plaintext. Practically, it was not easy to implement, as it needs large quantities of random keys. For every message to be sent, a key of equal length is needed by both, the sender and the receiver. It is of limited utility and is used for low-bandwidth channels with high security.
Transposition Techniques
Transposition Cipher
As the word ‘Transposition’ itself explains that the idea is to rearrange the order of basic units (letters/bytes/bits) without changing the actual letters used in the plaintext. The above-mentioned techniques gone through so far involve the substitution of a ciphertext symbol for a plaintext symbol. But with this technique, a very different type of mapping is attained by doing permutation on the plaintext letters.
Steganography
“Steganography is the art and science of writing hidden messages in such a way that no one apart from the sender and intended recipient, suspects the existence of the message.” It uses various methods to hide a secret message in any other data; it may be a picture, a mp3, a video

It is most widely used in the world. There is enough controversy over its security.
Triple-DES (3DES) and DESX are the two important variants that strengthen DES.
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
The algorithm can use a variable block length and key length; the latest specification allowed any combination of keys lengths of 128, 192, or 256 bits and blocks of length 128, 192, or 256 bits.
AES is a symmetric block cipher which replaces DES as the approved standard for a range of applications.
Triple DES is regarded as secure and well understood, but it is slow.
In June 1998 in the first round of evaluation, 15 proposed algorithms were accepted. Only 5 algorithms were short-listed in the second round in August 1999.
In 2000, Rijndael was selected as the AES algorithm by NIST. : Dr. Joan Daemen and Dr.Vincent Rijmen, both cryptographers from Belgium, developed and submitted Rijndael for the AES.
AES was published by NIST in 2001.
International Data Encryption Algorithm
Obviously is amusing to find out that the word “cipher” refers to a circle
From the very beginning, Washington stressed the importance of administrative secrecy and protection regarding the spy ring and within the spy ring itself. After Tallmadge recruited Robert Townsend, Washington was so concerned about security, he, “made it clear that he did not wish to know the person’s true identity or that of others involved in the ring’s activities.” The principle agents each wrote in invisible ink that require another chemical agent to reveal the writing. Due to the security risks presented by the rarity and costliness of the invisible ink or stain, Tallmadge created both fake names for most of the agents and a number code. The code Tallmadge used as a base for his code was a code which was itself based upon a priest’s cipher created in 1518 called the Ave Maria cipher.
Have you ever wondered who killed Julius Caesar? It was a dark day that day you know March 15Th 44 BC the day that Julius Caesar was brutally murdered at the meeting in the Senate building. The people who were responsible for the assassination of Julius Caesar were Brutus, Cassius, and other members of the Senate. The first member of the Senate that took part in Julius’s murder was his thought to be friend Brutus.
The death of a man, Julius Caesar. In 44 B.C. Julius Caesar the Roman dictator was loved by many citizens of Rome, but he was not loved by all. Some citizens of Rome hated Julius many of them in the senate. Two big conspirators of his death were Brutus and Cassius.
“A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of march. ”(pg 1102) Beware something bad is going to happen. “Amid violent thunder and lightning a terrified casca fears.” (pg 1110)
Caesar was trying to differentiate between breaking the law for a good reason and a bad reason. In other words, if you seize power you do it for a variety of reasons, mostly in those days to expand an empire or revolt against an unjust regime. If those in power are 'good ' then you do not need to seize power, and the enforced rules are there to protect you. So, in short, only break the rules to change them.
Some methods were ciphers, codes, and probably the most interesting, invisible ink. Anybody could spy, but there are some people that you didn’t know spied like Benjamin Franklin. There were others too, and some of them were even traitors. Secret letters consisted of spy codes, invisible ink, ciphers, hidden and masked letters. All of these methods were used so people couldn’t understand if a message was stolen, or confiscated.
The Tragedy of Julius Caesar- Rhetorical Analysis In the novel, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by Shakespeare, after Brutus brutally executes Caesar in Act 3 Scene 2, Antony is allowed to give a speech to the people of Rome whom have seen witnessed this fatal tragedy in Scene 3. Antony uses anaphora, connotative diction and details throughout his speech to persuade the Romans to change their perspective of Caesar and Brutus. The way Antony speaks about both Caesar & Brutus are a dispute of what he is actually trying to announce to the Romans. At the end of his speech, Antony hopes to reach the Romans emotionally (pathos) by enraging them against Brutus’s false statements against Caesar.
Julius Caesar was a politician, general, and dictator. He once said, “It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.” He was an incredible speaker of the time and was very well liked by most citizens. He brought a lot of change to Rome and was a very strong leader. Julius Gaius Caesar was born in Rome Italy, in 100 B.C., on July 13th.
The reader had to decipher the codes in order to receive the message. The code was a mix of numbers or letters that substituted for the actual letters in the message. Certain words, usually common places, names and dates would be given different words to be used instead. Tallmadge made four copies of the codes and gave them to Abraham Woodall, Robert Townsend and of course, George Washington. Woodall and Townsend also had code names.
In William Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar, Marc Antony appears to be a strong advocate for Julius Caesar’s triumphs and increasing power. However, like Caesar, Antony is extremely manipulative and powerful. After Caesar’s death, Antony manipulated the conspirators into believing he was on their side before requesting to speak at Caesar’s funeral. While Brutus and the conspirators remained fooled by Antony’s innocence, Antony took the initiative to inform the Roman citizens of the conspirator’s horrendous actions towards their beloved leader, Julius Caesar. Caesar’s funeral was a time of reflection for the citizens of Rome, as Marc Antony caused them to question their allegiance to Brutus.
At least one character should be a Digit. 4. Symbols and Non alphabetic characters. Reversible Encryption:
Intro: “Belief can be manipulated. Only knowledge is dangerous” as Frank Herbert once said. People may manipulate others to do their biddings in order to achieve their personal goals. No matter how hard it is, manipulators eventually reach their prey. This is the plan Cassius uses to initiate his final plan, to kill Caesar.
Deception and Manipulation William Shakespeare’s play “Julius Caesar” illustrates many facts and characteristics of Ancient Rome, such as betrayal and confederacy. However, deception and manipulation are the most significant aspects of the play and played a huge role in the story, which eventually lead to the death of Julius Caesar. Examples of deception and manipulation in this play are the fake letters that sent to Brutus, Decius assured Caesar about Calpurnia’s dream, and Anthony’s speech against Brutus. One of the most significant deceptions in the play is when Cassius sent fake letters to Brutus to convince him to join the conspiracy. Cassius addressed the letters to make it seem that they were coming from the citizens.
Government officials are expected to state their opinions on important subjects. This supposed transparency should allow citizens to assume how politicians will act once in power. Yet this outward appearance does not always convey all of their thoughts. Some actions, purely for public image, conceal the thoughts inside their minds and create a false appearance. This display of how people want to be seen is defined as a facade.
