A program to help with some simple ciphers
|
||||
This program is designed to allow you to play with some simple ciphers, like the Caesar Cipher.
|
||||
Because of how simple these ciphers are they will likely not be of any use if you actually want to keep your data safe

|
||||
It uses an array of Caesar ciphers and cycles between them based on a key.
|
||||
This makes it more secure, but if you are not carful in your message or have a short key it will still output recognizable paterns that can be easily broken.

#Autokey Cipher
|
||||
The Autokey cipher is very similar to the Vigenere cipher, but with a more secure key.
|
||||
Instead of having a repeated key, the key is used one time and the message itself is used as the rest of the key, out to the length of the message.
|
||||
This makes it more secure, but also slower to decrypt.

#Atbash Cipher
|
||||
The Atbash cipher is a simple cipher that basically reverses the alphabet.
|
||||
A=Z, B=Y, etc.
