The document discusses various cryptographic techniques including:
1. Classical techniques like the Caesar cipher, monoalphabetic cipher, and Playfair cipher.
2. The Vigenere cipher which uses multiple cipher alphabets to encrypt messages.
3. Modern techniques like the Hill cipher, Vernam cipher, and the theoretically unbreakable one-time pad.
4. Transposition techniques like rail fence cipher and row transposition ciphers.
5. The document also briefly mentions steganography techniques.
