Cipher disk

Summary

  • A cipher disk is an enciphering and deciphering tool developed in the 15th Century by Leon Battista Alberti. Rather than constructing a table with the regular and cipher alphabets on it, he created two circular scales, one smaller and on a disk that he mounted concentric to the larger circle.
