    No, not possible.

    The closet we’ve seen are the zodiac killer’s scribbles and they lasted as long as they did because he made a mistake (and frankly because no security researcher was really trying).

    Modern cryptography works because it shuffles data around so much that it appears random. There’s simply no way to do those sorts of operations with just pen and paper.
