What is a Hybrid Autokey Cipher? Inside CipherPigeon's Encryption Engine
Learn how a hybrid autokey cipher combines a passphrase with ciphertext feedback to make every encrypted message unique — and why CipherPigeon uses it.
CIPHERPIGEONCipherPigeon locks your words behind a hybrid autokey cipher and hands you a portable packet. Paste it into any app you already use. Without the key, it's noise.

Every character shifts by your passphrase plus the ciphertext before it. Repeated words never produce repeated output.
No accounts, no servers, no cloud sync. Encryption happens on your device and nowhere else.
Output is a portable VS//PACKET of plain text. Paste it into SMS, email, chat, a photo caption — anywhere.
One tap wipes the key, the input and the output from memory. Nothing is written to disk.
Ciphering runs in milliseconds with airplane mode on. No permissions, no network calls.
The passphrase never leaves your head. Share it out of band and the packet is meaningless to anyone else.
Agree on a passphrase with your recipient — in person, ideally.
Type your message. CipherPigeon returns a VS//PACKET block.
Paste it anywhere. They decrypt it with the same key.

You do not need a special messenger to keep a message private. CipherPigeon turns any channel into a secure channel by encrypting before you send.
Cloud sync, AI assistants, and always-on networks are convenient. They also expand your attack surface. Offline encryption keeps your secrets off the map.
Free on iOS and Android. No sign-up, no telemetry, no strings.
