Baconian Cipher
The Baconian Ciphers are based on a binary encoding of the plain text. Each letter is assigned to a string of five binary digits. In most cases, a and b are used instead of 1 and 0. A simple Baconian Cipher Encoding might be:
A = aaaaa I/J = abaaa R = baaaa
B = aaaab K = abaab S = baaab
C = aaaba L = ababa T = baaba
D = aaabb M = ababb U/V = baabb
E = aabaa N = abbaa W = babaa
F = aabab O = abbab X = babab
G = aabba P = abbba Y = babba
H = aabbb Q = abbbb Z = babbb
Where a is a serif font and b is sans serif
The salutation and signature lines are not included in the cipher
