affine

The affine cipher is a monoalphabetic substitutoin cipher,
where each letter is enciphered with the function (ax+b) mod 26 
(26 is the number of letters in the alphabet)

Classical cryptography methods for words and brief phrases.
Substitution, transposition and concealment (null) ciphers are available, like
Caesar, Vigenère, Atbash, affine, simple substitution, Playfair,
rail fence, Scytale, single column, and Polybius ciphers.
