Morse

Codes and Cip

By: Sahithi Lingamp

Out of all known codes, morse code is notably the most famous and well known, but it has fallen out of use with the invention of phones and the internet. It was developed by Samuel Morse who used it to revolutionise the use of the telegram, which was already invented nearly 20 years earlier in 1816 by Francis Ronals. What made Morse code special is that unlike prior ideas of using 26 separate wires for each letter, Morse developed an alphabet that allowed for quicker and more efficient communication (see the chart attached for the breakdown of how exactly Morse code works). Morse Code has been used for the last 160 years, and continues to be relevant not only in games, but also in aviation and in guiding boats.

Caesar When you hear “Caesar� the first thing, rather, person, you think of, would be Julius Caesar. Contrary to popular belief, Julius Caesar did not invent the Caesar cipher, but he did inspire the creation. According to history, Caesar used a shift of 3 letters in all his military documents, to protect his messages. For example, the letter A would be D, B would be E, and C would be F! Back when Caesar used the cipher, it was thought to be reasonably secure since only a few of his enemies were literate, and even less would consider that the message might have been encrypted! Nowadays, it is one of the easiest ciphers to crack, considering there are only 25 possibilities for what the message can be, and only one of them will make sense!
