Geocache Description:

This cache is NOT at the posted coordinates!


The bifid cipher is one of the classical ciphers and was invented around 1901 by Felix Delastelle. Bifid is a combination of substitution and fractionation. This causes the original text to spread over the entire encrytion, making it more secure.
