  Cipher Museum is a static, browser-based digital museum, cipher playground,
  and codebreaking classroom spanning more than 3,900 years of cryptography.
  Version 1.0.0 contains 167 exhibits, 88 registered cipher engines, 146
  interactive exhibits, a mathematics foundations annex, historical source
  notes, and automated correctness and accessibility checks. The separately
  published Cipher Corpus v0.6 dataset supplements the software.
