When did the idea of codes and ciphers get started?
Some people say that Julius Ceasar had his own cipher, and so did soldiers in the Civil War. Is that a fact?
The ancient chinese used code words hidden in pastries to plot a coup and overthrew their oppresive king.
Julius Ceasar has a code which is called Ceasar’s box (i think) Eg. E A D A N I T D E
U have to rearrange the letters into a 3×3 4×4 5×5 format etc.
E A D
A N I
T D E
Read downwards and you’ll have “EAT AND DIE”
