About Cryptography Ciphers

Caesar Cipher

Named after Julius Caesar, who used it for military communications. Each letter is shifted by a fixed number of positions in the alphabet.

Example: With shift 3, "HELLO" becomes "KHOOR" (H→K, E→H, L→O, L→O, O→R)

History: One of the oldest and simplest encryption techniques, dating back to 100 BC.

Substitution Cipher

Each letter in the alphabet is mapped to another letter according to a substitution key. More secure than Caesar cipher.

Example: With key "QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM", "HELLO" becomes "ITSSG"

Variations: Includes famous ciphers like the Pigpen cipher and various military codes.

Security Warning

  • These classical ciphers are NOT SECURE by modern standards
  • They can be easily broken using frequency analysis and computational methods
  • Use only for educational purposes and learning cryptography concepts
  • For real encryption needs, use modern algorithms like AES, RSA, or established libraries
