During the revolutionary war, George Washington needed to get valuable information to and from his generals without this information falling into the hands of the British. In order to do this, he would create a template where he would write out his true message and then hide or code the message within a common text letter. If the letter fell into the wrong hands, it could not be decoded without a duplicate template. Washington’s messages were never decoded and the rest is history.
Over the last few decades, statisticians have discovered a similar code in the Old Testament Torah (the first five books of the Bible).
