The Germans used the Enigma in WW2. It had a set of gears that when you pressed a letter on the keyboard, it seemed to randomly type another letter on the sheet of paper you were typing on. only if you had the same set of gears could you translate the code to English. The gears were interchangeable so you could create many different codes.
