Some of the paper planner things recommend encrypting information (financial
records) on their journals in various ways.

Telegraphers had various codes to encrypt/condense the data in the Victorian
era.  FWIW, the French had an optical telegraph that could be read by anyone
that could see the towers so those codes could be more important then just
for electrical telegraphs.

I like those various encypted databases that can run on my phone that I
always have with me.
