I was just experimenting on such ciphering systems.. None of us are doing more than playing around with ideas that strike our fancy. Some people like breaking Aristocrats (simple substitutions preserving word division) over and over. I find it tedious. My goal is to progress to more and more sophisticated ciphers. That said, I've not yet managed to figure out how to break Patristocrats (simple substitutions without word division) reliably. Aristos I can find a hook into almost immediately, in all but the most perverse* cases. With Pats I can find an immediate hook only about a third of the time. So while I intend to eventually explore methods for cracking more sophisticated ciphers, at present I'm continuing to bang my head against the Pats. *By perverse, I mean plaintext chosen to intentionally make things difficult, i.e.: Code: `gnus gnaw gnarly prions, produce prickly mad cow problem. gnats gnash jaws, chew bovine meat, make more havoc.` [/SMALL]
