It's a little like Enigma, except that the substitution is static, not changing on each key press.

- lucb1e 8y agoIt's nothing like Enigma: no plugboard, no sequence of rotors that can be switched out, and (as you've noted) no new alphabet on each keypress. Enigma is not that easy to crack, even today. I wouldn't compare it to a simple substitution cipher as to laymen that sounds like it was some pretty good shit even if it wasn't as good as Enigma.
