Ciphers (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

codes

'ciphers' is the definition.
('code' can be a synonym of 'cipher')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for codes that I've seen before include "Word systems devised to create secrecy" , "Ciphers" , "Lots of laws" , "Systems for transmitting secret messages" , "Sets of rules or cryptograms" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Times.
