Four Unique Encryption Systems

Creating encryption systems is something I have been doing since I was very young. I remember when I first started: it was at a dinner with my family in 2017 when I used my hand to assign numbers to letters. I would start at my thumb as the letter A, then continue counting up until I got to my pinky finger (as E), where I would start all over again with my thumb as F. I presented this system to my dad and brother, and since then I have created and tested many systems, making increasingly complex ways to hide meaning in numbers and symbols.

Over the years, these systems have gotten more and more complex, with the most recent one being incredibly difficult and convoluted while still maintaining its logical derivation. With these systems being so different from each other conceptually, I assembled them into a library which includes a brief history of their creation, their mechanics, and proper writing conventions. For the more complex systems, I created additional guides to more thoroughly explain the full derivation and use, along with lists of all the symbols.

The four systems are named |6.5|, Tridrant System, Circle System, and Fences. Both |6.5| and the Tridrant Systems have their own offshoots as well which will be explained along with them.

|6.5| (Six Five)

While this system is very similar to the Polybius Square cipher, the orthography, method of derivation, and status as my first "code" make it different enough to be worth explaining. This code can be boiled down to a 5x5 grid where letters are assigned coordinate points, but this was not originally how I developed it. Later variations, however, do use the grid idea.

Tridrant System

Named for its divisions of three, the Tridrant system is the only system I collaborated with someone else to create. This idea was begun as an alternative version of Morse code, but ended up becoming a project I took in and developed more thoroughly after its initial creation.

03

Circle System

The Circle System is one of the more complicated systems I have created. It uses an eight pointed geometric shape within a circle, where chords connecting combinations of points are bent to match the curvature of the outer circle. With the special characteristics of the characters, there are 216 possible combinations, each with unique shapes.

04

Fences

This is by far the most complicated system out of the various systems I have created. It is named to reflect the way encrypted text appears, with uniform vertical lines being connected by seemingly random diagonal lines. It has the largest set of rules, along with deliberate obfuscation mechanisms, which combine to make deciphering almost impossible.
