A journey into cryptographic algorithms.
We are developing MatLab algorithms to deal ciphers that are all solvable by pencil and paper methods, using, as guide and resource, the website of the American Cryptogram Association (ACA)

http://www.cryptogram.org/resource-area/cipher-types/

Here you will find the fruits of several hundred years of development of cryptography. Some of the ACA systems were used historically in precisely the form we use; some are simplified to highlight unique aspects of that cipher type; and some were invented by ACA members. Moreover, we developed algorithms for other historical ciphers that are not listed into the ACA website.
