I've been playing with simple cryptography. Mostly stuff that was solid before computers. Just for fun mostly but some of it may make for interesting projects for students. I've written a little bit about the things I have been playing with.
This is not a big book and it is intended more to spark interest and not to be a real reference book. There are footnotes linking to Wikipedia articles that would be a good next step for learning more.
I have a couple of substitution ciphers and a couple of transposition ciphers. Added some Steganography.

Comments and gentle criticism welcome. I have coded solutions in C# that are ok. Some of them even have comments.
Updated 5 March 2021 to include a brief chapter on the PigPen Cipher. Also some minor edits in other sections.
