Solitaire assumes that the secret police will allow a deck of cards,

I believe a specially-built rosary (circular string of beads) could
store one bit per bead, while allowing the user to toggle any bead. By
holding it carefully, I believe one could simulate a shift register.

Would someone here mind designing a low-tech cryptosystem that uses
this device?


  Would you call this the Immaculate Encryption?
