Caeser/ROT Cipher


The Caeser/ROT Cipher is an easy and famous cipher most notably used by the Roman Dictator, Julius Caeser (100 BC - 44 BC). He used this cipher to send messages to his generals at war. The Caeser Cipher is similar to a Vigenere cipher, because if you take the alphabet on the top row (left and right) and move down the left side you get a Caeser Cipher Shift! It shifts the alphabet one letter to the right to get an encoded message! A=B… Would be a shift of 1. A=C… would be a shift of 2, and so on…

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25

*A shift of 6 would be A = G, and J = P, etc.

You can use a grid-like this to solve a Caeser Cipher!
