ABSTRACT

You can make your own super-secret, hard-to-crach code just like the Soviets did. All you need is paper, pencil, some time, and your super sneaky spy brain. The Venona Code used number substitutions for letters and words. The thing that made it special is that the spies were never supposed to use the same code twice. This makes it tough, because every time you want to send a secret message you have to have another code. But it makes it super hard for your enemies to decipher.
