### A1Z26

Letters to their numerical value

```
8 15 12 1 3 1 18 1 3 15 12 1
```

### Affine Cipher Encode

Letter to num `(ax+b)%26` (_a_ and _b_ are the keys and _x_ is the letter) and the result back to letter

```
krodfdudfrod
```

### SMS Code

**Multitap** [replaces a letter](https://www.dcode.fr/word-letter-change) by repeated digits defined by the corresponding key code on a mobile [phone keypad](https://www.dcode.fr/phone-keypad-cipher) (This mode is used when writing SMS).\
For example: 2=A, 22=B, 222=C, 3=D...\
You can identify this code because you will see** several numbers repeated**.

You can decode this code in: [https://www.dcode.fr/multitap-abc-cipher](https://www.dcode.fr/multitap-abc-cipher)

### Bacon Code

Substitude each letter for 4 As or Bs (or 1s and 0s)

```
00111 01101 01010 00000 00010 00000 10000 00000 00010 01101 01010 00000
AABBB ABBAB ABABA AAAAA AAABA AAAAA BAAAA AAAAA AAABA ABBAB ABABA AAAAA
```

### Samir Secret Sharing

A secret is splitted in X parts and to recover it you need Y parts (_Y <=X_).
