Morse Code
Morse code is a system of communication that uses two different signal durations, called dots and dashes, to encode text characters. It was invented by Samuel F.B. Morse in the 1830s and became widely used for telegraphy, the transmission of messages over long distances by electric wires. Morse code can also be transmitted by other means, such as light, sound or radio waves. Morse code is still used today by amateur radio operators, pilots, sailors and some military forces.
"SOS" is an international distress signal, these three letters are not the abbreviation of any word, just because its code "...---..." (three dots, three long, three dots) is the easiest to send out and identify in telegrams code.

Bifid Cipher is a cipher which combines the Polybius square with transposition, and uses fractionation to achieve diffusion.
Four-Square Cipher
Four-Square Cipher encrypts pairs of letters (like playfair), which makes it significantly stronger than substitution ciphers etc. since frequency analysis becomes much more difficult.
Vernam Cipher
Vernam Cipher (also known as the one-time pad (OTP)) is an encryption technique that cannot be cracked, but requires the use of a one-time pre-shared key the same size as, or longer than, the message being sent.
