yeah, a monoalphabetic cipher can be broken with great ease..... It may be difficult if you are only sending one word, but if you were to send even a long sentence it wouldn't take much to figure out.

P.S. If you're really interested in this, try this site for the basics.

Edit again:
The final program that we came up with didn't work with letters, it actually functioned on the byte level. Much more secure, and you could encrypt anything.

The broomhandle code is called "Skytale", and dates back to the Greeks. At the time, it was an uncrackable code. You needed to have two dowels the same size to read the message. Both sides would have multi sizes of dowels to keep people guessing.
PS. I use this all te time, when I do quests with my Scouts. It drives them totally up the wall.
