Barbie Cipher

Santa Claus never brought me a Barbie Typewriter E-118 (with cryptographic capabilities) when I was a kid, so to overcome my sadness I wrote this python library to code/decode messages using the typewriter own cipher tables.

tl;nr This toy typewriter can code/decode messages kids type with a mono alphabet substitution cipher. The manufacturer pre-loaded four different conversion tables.

For a full description, please head to this article by Crypto Museum. (Archive)
