Re: Where to get a Jefferson Wheel ?

2005-01-05 Thread Adam Shostack
I got mine in Secret Codes by Jackson.  It's a cheap plastic model
in a kids book.  I didn't try to assemble the morse code thing, so
can't comment on its quality.

 The order of the wheels can't be changed.
 So this encryption device doesn't use any key?

Only the most trivial; you choose the row to transmit.

From what I've seen on the web not even that:
Unlike the original Jefferson wheel these toys are not
intended to choose any row, but to use the row directly
under the plaintext row as cipher text. Instead of the
line indicator from Jefferson, they have a sliding
bar with two windows for two subsequent rows.
