=== Nihilist substitution ===

 - 1 2 3 4 5
 1 K R Y P T
 2 O S A B C
 3 D E F G H
 4 I L M N Q
 5 U V W X Z
Normally described as reading off the digit pairs, or perhaps adding a repeating numeric key. But you could do a transposition on the numbers and substitute back to letters using the same or a different square. Or add the numeric key with no carry base 5 (better start with numbers 0-4) and substitute back.

Similar ideas could be applied to the *Straddling Checkerboard*

 - 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
 - K R Y - P T O - S
 3 A B C D E F G H I
 7 L M N Q U V W X Z
