I've developed methods for solving vignere, general transpositions, playfair, etc... just basically bringing myself up to speed with the general background of the field.
Would you mind writing a "tutorial for the beginner cryptanalist"?
I'd be willing to provide a home for any such material on the SSZ CDR webpage. I've been re-reading Codebreakers (Kahn) and doing some pencil-n-paper doodling along the same lines.
