Classical Cipher Contraptions

Welcome to this website dedicated to classical cipher devices of all sorts.

It aims to present various cryptographic devices and their history, and to chronicle attempts to build replicas with the help of 3D-printing.

The website will be frequently updated as pictures and information are added or updated, and projects progress.

Latest additions:

  • A page on the building of an Enigma replica.
  • A section on historical cryptograms.

Planned addition:

  • A cryptology section with an emphasis on cryptanalysis of classical ciphers.
