unconditional security
no matter how much computer power or time is available, the cipher cannot be broken since the ciphertext provides insufficient information to uniquely determine the corresponding plaintext
computational security
given limited computing resources (eg time needed for calculations is greater than age of universe), the cipher cannot be broken
A cipher machine is a mechanical device for encoding and decoding messages.

code.
Using a keyword as long as the message will make a vigenere cipher unbreakable.
James Leeson
Subtitution: each letter retains its position but changes its identity, Transposition: each letter retains its identity but changes its position.
The difference between substitution and transposition is that in:Subtitution:each letter retains its position but changes its identity,Transposition:each letter retains its identity but changes its position.
cipher is a lower level substitution that works at the level of the individual letters that make up the plaintext A code however is higher level and works at the level of words. Therefore this sentence could be turned into the code '@!:[]{}~+'
A transposition cipher involves scrambling the letters in a message. The strengths of this are that there is less correspondence between characters, as there is in a substitution cipher, and that it tends to reduce redundancy.
The BAUDOT code is made from a cipher. The cipher that does this is also known as a Bacon cipher.
