bifid_delastelle

The bifid cipher is an encryption method that combines a substitution with a Polybius square and a transposition, and uses fractionation to achieve diffusion. 
It was invented by Felix Delastelle.

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, bifid, trifid, and Polybius ciphers.
