Integrity

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_hash_function#Verifying_the_integrity_of_messages_and_files

An important application of secure hashes is verification of message integrity. Comparing message digests (hash digests over the message) calculated before, and after, transmission can determine whether any changes have been made to the message or file.

Hold up, are we sure it's not the Bacon Cipher? I heard that one uses multiple symbols per letter too. Nah, just kidding, Homophonic is the way to go.

Scytale Cipher? Really? That's some ancient stuff. Homophonic Substitution is the clear choice here.

ADFVGX Cipher? What kind of crazy cipher is that? I'm sticking with good old Homophonic Substitution.

Hmm, I was torn between Playfair and Homophonic, but the multiple cipher text symbols for plain text letters makes me think Homophonic is the way to go.

I'm not sure, but I think A) Scytale Cipher could also be a possible answer.

I'm pretty sure it's the Homophonic Substitution Cipher. Masking letter frequencies sounds like a key feature of that one.

I agree, the Homophonic Substitution Cipher does mask letter frequencies. That could be the one.

I think it might be the Playfair Cipher. It also maps plain text letters to multiple cipher text symbols.

I'm not so sure, I think it might be the Playfair Cipher since it maps plain text letters to multiple cipher text symbols.
