* The simple substitution cipher is a cipher that has been in use for many hundreds of years (an
* excellent history is given in Simon Singhs 'the Code Book'). It basically consists of
* substituting every plaintext character for a different ciphertext character. It differs from the
* Caesar cipher in that the cipher alphabet is not simply the alphabet shifted, it is completely
* jumbled.
