ALGOL
ALGOL (short for "Algorithmic Language") is a high-level programming language that played a pivotal role in the evolution of programming languages. Initially developed in the 1950s by a committee of researchers from the United States and Europe, ALGOL was designed for expressing algorithms in a clear and concise manner. The language aimed to provide a universal way to describe computations, making it easier to share algorithms between researchers and to serve as a standard for algorithm description.
ABAP
ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) is a high-level programming language developed by SAP SE for the creation of business applications. Primarily used within the SAP ecosystem, ABAP allows developers to create custom reports, interfaces, enhancements, and forms, all while ensuring a strong integration with the SAP database. This high-level language, being a fourth-generation programming language (4GL), is designed to be closer to human language, often requiring less code to accomplish tasks compared to traditional third-generation languages.
C
C is a general-purpose, procedural programming language that has had a profound impact on the development of software and programming languages. It was developed in the early 1970s at Bell Labs by Dennis Ritchie and his colleagues. C is known for its efficiency, flexibility, and control over system resources, making it a popular choice for system programming, embedded systems, and application development.
BASIC
BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is a high-level programming language developed in 1964 by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz at Dartmouth College. The primary goal behind the creation of BASIC was to provide a simple and easy-to-learn programming language that could be used by non-scientists and people with minimal technical expertise.
Assembly
Assembly language is a low-level programming language that is closely related to the machine code instructions specific to a particular computer architecture. It was first introduced in the early 1950s as one of the earliest programming languages, created to provide a symbolic representation of the binary-coded machine instructions that computers understand.
Ada
Ada is a high-level programming language initially designed in the late 1970s and early 1980s for the U.S. Department of Defense. Its development was led by Jean Ichbiah of CII Honeywell Bull, under a contract awarded by the DoD.

Vigenère Cipher
The Vigenère Cipher is a classical cryptographic method that enhances the security of simple substitution ciphers. It was developed by the French diplomat Blaise de Vigenère in the 16th century.
Vernam Cipher
The Vernam Cipher, also known as the "One-Time Pad," is a powerful and unbreakable encryption technique known for its exceptional security when used correctly. It falls under the category of symmetric encryption, where both the sender and recipient share the same secret key.
Trifid Cipher x Félix Delastelle
The Trifid Cipher is a cryptographic technique that combines elements of substitution and transposition ciphers to encrypt messages. It was invented in 1901 by Félix Delastelle, a French cryptographer, and is known for its use of three-dimensional representations.
