CODING OR CIPHERING APPARATUS FOR CRYPTOGRAPHIC OR OTHER PURPOSES INVOLVING THE NEED FOR SECRECY (secret transmission Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...H04K; arrangements for secret telegraphic communication Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...H04L 9/00)

|  | G09C 1/00 |
Apparatus or methods whereby a given sequence of signs, e.g. an intelligible text, is transformed into an unintelligible sequence of signs by transposing the signs or groups of signs or by replacing them by others according to a predetermined system (cryptographic typewriters Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...G09C 3/00)

|  | G09C 1/02 |
· | by using a ciphering code in chart form

|  | G09C 1/04 |
· | with sign carriers or indicators moved relative to one another to positions determined by a permutation code or key, so as to indicate the appropriate corresponding clear or ciphered text

|  | G09C 1/06 |
· | wherein elements corresponding to the signs making up the clear text are operatively connected with elements corresponding to the signs making up the ciphered text, the connections, during operation of the apparatus, being automatically and continuously permuted by a coding or key member
