JADE
In the history of cryptography, JADE was the codename given by US codebreakers to a Japanese cipher machine. The Imperial Japanese Navy used the machine for communications from late 1942 until 1944. JADE was similar to another cipher machine, CORAL , with the main difference that JADE was used to encipher messages in katakana using an alphabet of 50 symbols.
