I'm not finding the source for this right offhand, so I'll have to dig for it, but the impression I got was that Fontana encrypted for the sake of encryption. His encrypted work was a demonstration of a technology, much like a prototype or a portfolio piece.
The visual parallels Ellie Velinska drew between the VMs and Trithemius' cryptological masterpiece Steganographia made me take a long pause.
That is a motivation "Encryption for the sake of encryption", but do we have a Fontana quote saying as much.
What kind of visual parallels with Trithemius are you referring to and do you have a link?
