Crypt - Lecture 08 (Shape Ciphers)

This document introduces basic concepts of cryptography, focusing on geometric substitution ciphers such as the 4 Triangles Cipher and 3 Squares Cipher, as well as the Pigpen/Masonic Cipher. Each cipher utilizes specific shapes and symbols to encrypt messages, with activities provided for practice in encryption and decryption. The document is designed for a lecture led by instructor Hina Alam.

▪ 4 Triangles Cipher

▪ 3 Squares Cipher

▪ Pigpen / Masonic Cipher


4 Triangles Cipher
(Geometric substitution cipher)

4 Triangles Cipher uses combination of 4 triangles and dots to encrypt the


message.

● The orientation of the triangle and the placement of the dot is specific for each
letter.
● The challenge this time is that each letter is randomly allocated, which makes it
harder to decipher.

3 Squares Cipher
3 Squares Cipher uses combination of triangles and dots to
encrypt the message.

● The orientation of the triangle and the placement of the dot


is specific for each letter.

Solution
Pigpen / Masonic Cipher

The Pigpen Cipher is another example of a substitution cipher, but rather than
replacing each letter with another letter, the letters are replaced by symbols.

▪ Encryption
The encryption process is fairly straightforward, replacing each occurrence of a letter with the designated symbol.

The symbols are assigned to the letters using the key shown below, where the letter shown is replaced by the part of the image in which it is located.

▪ Decryption
The decryption process is just the reverse of the encryption process.

Using the same key (the grid above), you locate the image depicted in the ciphertext, and replace it with the letter given by that part of the grid.
