[split] Diplomatic ciphers

[Mark Knowles]

JKP: Well I am not familar with the different terminology used by different people, I have expressed things in my own terms. However all I am doing is taking principles that we find in diplomatic ciphers of the period and putting a slightly different spin on them. That is why I have been using the term atypical diplomatic ciphers rather than using a more long winded( or otherwise non-specific) term like homophonic substitution cipher with verbose codes, nulls and a glossary to use your terminology(even this to me is arguably less clear.)
