A Secret Language & A Password System | "EncrypTuring Method"

[Erol]

I create a daily to do list from the night before for the next day. I often write in shortcodes without using the vowels, such as “Pst th lttr”, translates as “Post the letter”. This way I can write and or make notes very quickly. And the good thing about this is that it is not exactly easy to guess what my to do list is.

I watched the movie “The Imitation Game” , Benedict Cumberbatch (one of my Fav actors) acts as Alan Turing who decodes the enigma.

So if this method needs a name then we can perhaps call this as “The EncrypTuring Method”

I’ve experimented with the idea of using the Major system to see if it can even be easier to use while taking notes and at the same time making it even more difficult that nobody would guess what my list is. I have also thought this to my nephews and they love the idea of it and could come up with even further creative ideas. It’s a new game for them and they love it. They message each other using these codes and it was so much fun

So here is the EncrypTuring Method - The Secret Language Code Of The Numbers.

As we know The Major System is made up of consonant letters that corresponds with the number digits from 0-9.

0 - Z-S
1 - T-D-TH
2 - N
3 -M
4 - R
5 - L
6 - CH-SH-JH
7 - Kh, Qh, Gh
8 - F-PH-V
9 - P-B

Now going back to the same example of “Pst Th Lttr”
This translates to “901 1 5114”

These digits are not easy to guess as to what it would mean by anyone who does not know the Major system.
However, it is also not easy to guess even if you do know the Major system as these numbers could also represent different words.

So the idea is to add the Vowels to make the words mean what its meant to mean for all secret language users.

Let’s go back to the same example again;

Pst Th Lttr
901 1 5114

Now let’s add the Vowels.
9o01 1he 5e11e4

Notice now a consonant “h” stands out as it is not a vowel. It’s up to you to use “h” or simply use “1” as “th”.

The other consonants such as “w, y, x” that you may use where necessary with either symbols or as they are. I use “?” as “w”, and use “y, and x” as they are.

The easiest way is to simply use the missing consonants to make up the word to create your own secret language.

Now this doesn’t have to be the usual Major system codes, you can in fact change the Letters to some other consonants that you and the other/s person/s want to use as your own secret language.

Some of the shortcuts I use but still looking for others;
At: @
Why: ?
Why-Not: ?2o1
What: ?1
Where: ?4
How: h?
Which: ?6
When: ?2
Who: ?h
You: u, or U
Hi: h or H
Hello: hE55o
And: &
Number: # (example: 1pm: #1-93 or 9am: #9-a3)
Yes: y0
No: 2o
OK: o7
See: < (looks like an eye looking to the right)
See you: <U
Would: w1 (Wood: woO1)
Could: c1
Will: ?55
Sorry: 04y
Thank you: 1a27u.
Today: 1o1aY
Tomorrow: 1o3r?
Tonight: 1o2iy1
Later: 5a14. OR 5a1E4.

So this can be used as a secret language code, and also can be used for setting up and remembering passwords with a single word/image.

Hope its useful and hope you have lots of fun with it.

It’ll be interesting to see some other ideas you can come up with using these methods?

Erol.

ps: See if you can translate this code into words?;

@Erol

32e3o2i70

With a 3 even though the “m” is silent?

How do you handle words like motion or ocean where phonetically you’d use a 6?

[Erol]

The idea is to use it as sending a message to the person you know who uses the same codes as you. So it’s not said/spoken out loud but used in messaging or emailing, and or making notes such as a to-do list. So it makes no difference if it’s silent or not

Lovvvvvve mnemonics! , fun! I’d start to by changing the vowels to make it less similar, just using maybe use vowel + previous number(5), so o (15th letter in alphabet)would become t(15 + 5 =20th letter)

@Erol

i-5o8e 32e3o2i70

So instead of 5o Wed have 5t, maybe switch that t back with another letter number system, make it the one where 7=T, so now Wed have 57 instead of 5o!

[Readerly]

It’s too bad that English isn’t more like Arabic, then we could use this code without any vowels. Regardless, this is a pretty cool code. I made a short journal entry earlier this morning, and I’m pleased that I can write in it very quickly, unlike most ciphers on beginning use.

whatever works for you. I always like your creative ideas

At first I thought of a few different methods similar to yours.
But the easiest way was to simply add the missing vowels and consonants so it was a mix of numbers, letters, and where necessary some symbols too such as the @ symbols.

Now if you were to perhaps encrypt this even further, then using a little creativity with another idea like you mentioned could be even better.

One idea could be that; instead of 3e3o4y,
you can encrypt it by using the next letter in the alphabet for each letter.
So instead of 3e, it could be 3f, and instead of 3o, it could be 3p, and 4z.
And this would give you; 3f3p4z.

So when decoding it, you know that your system is “previous letter”
and it is 3e3o4y = memory.

And this also seems to be good when creating passwords by using a single word with this method. If you were to memorise your login to this forum with a word “memory” as your password, then it’d be 3e3o4y.

The idea is to create your own secret language that you’d use with the person/s who’d use the same method as you set it with your own creative ways. But it can also be used personally for taking notes which nobody will have a clue about what is it you’ve written down unless they have seen this post and can find ways to figure it out

Hi Erol Abi! Can I ask you that should I use vowels when I write a word that start with vowels. Thanks for great technique, I can take very fast note with this.

Yes sure why not. Whatever works for you will give you good results.

I am using a similar method
Thank you so much

I love mnemonics Haha

[memouser]

I use a mix of the ben system using my custom Major system variation:
0: K
1: L
2: N
3: M
4: R
5: S
6: j, sh, ch, g
7: T
8: f, v
9: b/p

& then replace letters using a custom encrypted alphabet where the ben system is not precise, as it was developed to remember numbers, not to write words using numbers.

“Post The Letter” for me would be:
945L LYA 12.724

Logic:

• POS can be converted using the ben system. It would be 940 using his major system, or 944 using mine.
• “T” needs a solution as it’s integrated into the word, so there i use the encryption alphabet, so L because t & l look similar, so they can replace each other.
• THE is not CVC as the ben system requires, so i do it with the encrypted alphabet.
• LE-TTER can be done using the ben system, so 12.7A4; Ben would output here 52-124.
