Or, the mystery of Admiral Beaufort s cipher . Mathematics and Computers in Simulation 35 1993 327 367 ref . Its most famous application was in a rotor based cipher machine, the M 209 Hagelin M 209 ref Mollin, Richard A., An Introduction to Cryptography , page 100. Chapman & Hall CRC, 2001 ref . Using the cipher To encrypt or decrypt for that matter , first choose the plaintext character from the top row of the tableau,call this column P. Secondly, travel down column P to the corresponding keyLetter K. Finally, move directly left from the Key letter to the left edge of the tableau, the CipherText encryption of Plaintext P with Key K will be there. For example if encrypting Plain text character d with Key m the steps would be 1 find the column with d on the top, 2 travel down that column to find Key m , 3 travel to the left edge of the tableau to find the CipherText letter J in this case . The Beaufort cipher is a reciprocal cipher , that is, Decryption and Encryption algorithms are the same. Distinguished from variant Beaufort The Beaufort cipher should not be confused with the variant Beaufort cipher.
