# Ciphers
|
||||
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
|
||||
|
||||
#Caesar Cipher
|
||||
This cipher is very easy to learn and simple to encode or decode.
|
||||
It just shifts the letters a certain number of spaces, i.e. for a shift of 3 a=d & x=a
|
||||
|
||||
#Playfair Cipher
|
||||
This cipher is a little more complex.
|
||||
It uses a key to create a grid of letters that is then used to encode 2 letters at a time. It is a simple form of 16-bit encryption.
|
||||
It is still fairly simple to learn to do by hand, just time consuming if it is a long message or if you are trying to crack the key.
