The Morse code is a system of representation of letters, numbers and punctuation signs through a coded signal sent intermittently containing a code "told" binary[1] but which contains intervals (4 types of intervals), short signs also called dits or dots (·) and long signs also called dahs or dashes (-). It was developed by Samuel Morse in 1835.[1] The Morse code can be used for sending encrypted messages for example the Fractioned Morse Encryption method developed by M. E. Ohaver.[2]
