What is the Baconian Cipher?

The Baconian cipher is more like an encoding scheme than an encryption scheme. To encrypt, each letter of the plaintext is replaced by a group of five of the letters 'A' or 'B'. In the first variant, letters I and J, U and V are mapped to the same ciphertext output. In the second variant, the four letters are each assigned their own unique group of five letters. Baconian ciphers cannot represent spaces or special characters.

How to use the Baconian Cipher

Baconian ciphertext can be decoded using this CyberChef recipe and plaintext can be encoded with the Baconian cipher with this CyberChef recipe. You may want to toggle the alphabet set or invert the translation when decoding if the ciphertext isn't decoding properly.
