Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Many classical ciphers aren’t supported yet. I was asked to analyze several of them the other day (along with some I people I knew), and it would be really helpful to have them all in one place instead of manually stitching functions together from different sources.

Describe the solution you'd like Here is a list me and my partners compiled that could be supported in the future.

  1. Playfair
  2. Hill
  3. Trifid
  4. Four-square
  5. Nihilist
  6. ADFGX
  7. ADFGVX
  8. Beaufort
  9. Vigenere Autokey
  10. Porta
  11. Chaocipher
  12. Solitaire/Pontifex
  13. Homophonic substitution
  14. Straddling checkerboard
  15. Myszkowski transposition
  16. VIC cipher

Describe alternatives you've considered Manually chaining different cipher functions through different webs and sources.

Additional context I am a semi-hobbyist + learner, I do not have much time to explore or implement a solution myself. This is one of my favorite tools that helped me achieved some of my milestones and goals. It would also be great if there is a separate category for Classical Ciphers in this case to help organize and separate known modern cryptography and pre-modern ciphers. Thank you!
