The value is the cipher key. For example, the code IBDLBEBZ is encrypted with a Caesar Cipher. It doesn’t take very much to see that a shift of “1” would reveal HACKADAY.

Some ciphers have simple keys, others, complex ones. The key for a cipher used by Augustus Caesar, some 2,000 years ago, was simple enough: The receiver just had to shift the alphabet one position.

Caesar Ciphers are very simple methods of encryption because the work by shifting the alphabet over a few characters and matching up the letters (see the picture above)—in fact, if you've ever ...

“According to Martignago, the Provenzano code might have been made more secure by changing the + 3 key with other shift characters ( +5, +7, +8, etc.) from time to time.” This is one of those ...

Famous persons and their now-famous codes It was Julius Caesar who lent his name to the now-famous Caesar Cipher – one of the earliest and most elementary means of encoding messages.

A relatively basic form of substitution cipher is the Caesar Cipher, named for its Roman origins. The Caesar Cipher involves writing two alphabets, one above the other. The lower alphabet is ...
