| What Is The "Tap Code" And It's Origins? |
WikiPedia: The "Tap Code" is a cipher, used by prisoners to communicate with one another. The method of communicating is usually by "tapping" either the metal bars or the walls inside the cell, hence its name. It is a very simple cipher, not meant to avoid interception, since messages were sent in clear-text. United States prisoners
of war during the Vietnam War are most known for having used the Tap Code. GBU |
