Abstract
In the decryption of codes and ciphers, problems arise from time to ti me which can be expressed in graph theoretical terms. In the context o f cryptography these graph problems are usually trivial, but sometimes , by suitable generalization, they can suggest concepts which are not only nontrivial but which may even be of some interest. A few examples are given.
