+ *
+ * The simple substitution cipher is a cipher that has been in use for many hundreds of years 
+ * (an excellent history is given in Simon Singhs 'the Code Book'). 
+ * It basically consists of substituting every plaintext character for a different ciphertext character. 
+ * It differs from the Caesar cipher in that the cipher alphabet is not simply the alphabet shifted,
+ * it is completely jumbled.
