Autokey

"""
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autokey_cipher
An autokey cipher (also known as the autoclave cipher) is a cipher that
incorporates the message (the plaintext) into the key.
The key is generated from the message in some automated fashion,
sometimes by selecting certain letters from the text or, more commonly,
by adding a short primer key to the front of the message.
