Number of today's modern cipher systems are based on the classical symmetric cipher systems, such as the transposition principle in the DES cipher. Successful analysis and deciphering of these ciphers is therefore underlined by solid knowledge of the elementary cryptanalysis methods. This implies the importance of classical cryptanalysis education -- for better a understanding of the field, using visual means is of utmost importance. The aim of the thesis is to summarize selected cipher methods of the classical cryptanalysis, namely the mono-- and polyalphabetical substitution and transposition route cipher. Along with the theoretical part, ciphering/deciphering software is introduced to be used for educational purposes, particularly a website and a standalone application providing tools for ciphering, analysis and code breaking of the classical cipher based code.
