The Copiale Cipher
Kevin Knight, Be'ata Megyesi, Christiane Schaefer, 2011. Proceedings of the 4th Workshop on Building and Using Comparable Corpora: Comparable Corpora and the Web.
Reports the decipherment of the Copiale cipher, an eighteenth-century German manuscript of a secret society, which turned out to be a homophonic substitution with extra symbols for spaces, nulls and whole words.
What it's used for here
The cryptanalysis survey treats it as a worked homophonic decipherment, and the emerging-methods survey notes that its validation rested on readable German and consistency across the document, with no formal null; three other surveys also cite it.
