Your research?

Yes. At one part of my life, I had to build a a device that could send transmissions from one place to another without being intercepted. I researched as many codes as I could to help me find the right one to disguise the transmissions.

I think I've heard of such things before.

Ever heard of an autotype?

Re: written

Of course.

The term was coined in the late 19th century and referred to a process for making photographic prints using a carbon process. Many autotype prints were produced and the process was popular well into the 20th century, particularly since it was said that an autotype could last up to 500 years without fading. It may also refer to halftone printing.

But I do not think that that is what you are referring to.

No, not really.

Actually, I would've been surprised if you did know of it. It's the name of the invention I made that transmitted messages that could not be intercepted. There are very few of them in existence in the world.

Sounds interesting.

Of course it's interesting. I had world governments throwing themselves all over me to try to sell them that thing.

That isn't surprising. A code that is difficult to break has it's value.
