This week we created on of the most famous ciphers the Caesar Cipher. This cipher is named after the Roman emperor Julius Caesar.
The Caesar cipher works by shifting each letter of the alphabet by a specific number.
In the example of the Caesar Cipher below the letters in the PlainText alphabet have been shifted by three places.
The letter a becomes D, the letter g becomes J and so on.
Using a Caesar Cipher with an offset of three the words Coder Dojo Athenry would become FRGHU GRMR DWKHQUB
