ChaCha is a stream cipher designed by Daniel J. Bernstein. It is a variant of the Salsa stream cipher. Several parameterizations exist; 'ChaCha' may refer to the original construction, or to the variant as described in RFC-8439. ChaCha is often used with Poly1305, in the ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD construction.
Options
Key: ChaCha uses a key of 16 or 32 bytes (128 or 256 bits).
Nonce: ChaCha uses a nonce of 8 or 12 bytes (64 or 96 bits).
Counter: ChaCha uses a counter of 4 or 8 bytes (32 or 64 bits); together, the nonce and counter must add up to 16 bytes. The counter starts at zero at the start of the keystream, and is incremented at every 64 bytes.

Polybius Square Cipher
Polybius Square Cipher is essentially identical to the simple substitution cipher, except that each plaintext character is enciphered as 2 ciphertext characters. It can ususally be detected if there are only 5 or 6 different characters in the ciphertext.
Rail Fence Cipher
Rail Fence Cipher is a classical type of transposition cipher. It derives its name from the manner in which encryption is performed, in analogy to a fence built with horizontal rails.
Scytale Cipher
Scytale Cipher is a transposition cipher, which means it rearranges the order of letters in a message rather than substituting them with other characters.
