Here's something that my friend Elly and I cooked up for extra credit for our Intro to Cryptography class this past quarter: Navajo Code Talkers
Elly is the one that created the website (through GeoCities) while I did research. Actually....Elly did a big chunk of the work.
Check it out - it's interesting info about crytopgraphy and the historical significance of the Navajo Code Talkers that served in the Pacific.
It was a very interesting class and it's something that I'm giving serious consideration into persuing further - Cryptography, that is....
I love doing the cryptograms that come in the paper and in those puzzle mags you can buy.

A few things to consider:
The SAFEST form of transferring messages is to use an encryption key system, where only 2 parties have a copy of the key.
A = 1D
B = 3DF
C = A
and so forth. Variances in the length of the cypher makes it damned near impossible to decypher. Especially if you do not use
THE, AT, ING, or any other common forms of word prefixes or suffixes.
If you want to get REALLY kinky, use two languages. English for verbs and spanish for nouns. THAT should mess them up even more.
Now all you have to do is change cyphers after every 10 messages. (Pre made book with 2 editions, 30 cyphers per edition)
OR you could just use encryption software. I don't think anyone can crack 256 bit encryption yet.
