Introduction
Substitution technique is a classical encryption approach where the
characters present in the initial message are restored by the other
characters or numbers or by symbols. If the plain text is treated as the
string of bits, thus the substitution technique would restore bit pattern of
plain text with the bit pattern of cipher text.

 In this substitution technique, it can
encrypt the plain text, each
alphabet of the plain text is restored

Caesar Cipher by the alphabet three places further

it and it can decrypt the cipher text
each alphabet of cipher text is
restored by the alphabet three
places before it.
Monoalphabetic Monoalphabetic cipher is a
substitution cipher in which for a

Cipher given key, the cipher alphabet for

each plain alphabet is fixed
throughout the encryption process.
Polyalphabetic A polyalphabetic cipher is any
cipher based on substitution, using

Cipher multiple substitution alphabets. The

encryption of the original text is
done using the Vigenere square or
Vigenere table.
 The Homophonic Substitution

Homophonic cipher is a substitution cipher in

which single plaintext letters can be

Cipher replaced by any of several different

ciphertext letters. They are generally
much more difficult to break than
standard substitution ciphers.
