About the Caesar Cipher

  • The Caesar cipher is one of the simplest and most widely known encryption techniques.
  • It is a type of substitution cipher in which each letter in the plaintext is replaced by a letter some fixed number of positions down or up the alphabet.
  • For example, with a left shift of 3, 'D' would be replaced by 'A', 'E' would become 'B', and so on.
  • This tool preserves case (uppercase remains uppercase, lowercase remains lowercase) and non-alphabetic characters.
  • While historically significant, the Caesar cipher offers very little communication security and can be easily broken.

A simple and educational online tool for demonstrating the classic Caesar cipher. Easily encode your plaintext messages into ciphertext or decode existing ciphertext back into readable text by specifying a numerical shift value (1-25). Ideal for learning about basic substitution ciphers or for fun text transformations.
