Vatsyayana cipher
The Vatsyayana cipher or Kama Sutra cipher is a classical substitution cipher described in the 45th chapter of the Indian erotic manual Kama Sutra authored by Mallanaga Vatsyayana who is believed to have lived in the fourth century AD.[1][2] The cipher involves randomly pairing letters, so that each plaintext letter gets substituted for its paired letter in the ciphertext, and vice versa.
