 * 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.
