You stated that you want predetermined symbols and letters on the gears in order to decode messages using a shift cipher method, but as Deusovi said, that's not how shift ciphers work. Looking at the link you provided, it seems like you're thinking about a substitution cipher, which is a whole different kind of cipher. Do you want us to find another way to use the mechanism to encode/decode a message? Or am I completely misunderstanding your purpose here? | |

| Nov 26, 2019 at 2:12 | comment | added | Deusovi♦ | I'm not sure what you mean - isn't the point of a shift cipher that you can use any sequence of letters as both ciphertext and keys? (Or any keyed cipher at all, for that matter?) | |
