	Cryptography--Caesar Cipher
		One of the simplest examples of a substitution cipher is the Caesar cipher, which is said to have been used by Julius Caesar to communicate with his army.
		Caesar is considered to be one of the first persons to have ever employed encryption for the sake of securing messages.
		Caesar decided that shifting each letter in the message would be his standard algorithm, and so he informed all of his generals of his decision, and was then able to send them secured messages.

	Codes and Ciphers
		Ciphers have been in use since at least Ancient Rome, and there are indications in ancient writings that they were in use earlier than that.
		The Caesar Substitution cipher, and all like it were called "simple substitution" (to the cryptologist, "monalphabetic substitution") because throughout the message, each character was always replaced by the identical cipher character (e.g., in the Caesar Substitution, "F" would always represent "c" throughout the message).
		Field Ciphers were not intended to be as secure as those between military bases and diplomatic missions, but if they could prevent an adversary from decrypting a message until it was too late, they served their purpose.

		Even as late as 1915, the Caesar cipher was in use: the Russian army employed it as a replacement for more complicated ciphers which had proved to be too difficult for their troops to master; German and Austrian cryptanalysts had little difficulty in decrypting their messages.
		A Caesar shift of 13 is also performed in the ROT13 algorithm, a simple method of obfuscating text used in some Internet forums to obscure text (such as joke punchlines and story spoilers), but not used as a method of encryption.
		The Vigenère cipher uses a Caesar cipher with a different shift at each position in the text; the value of the shift is defined using a repeating keyword.

	vigenre cipher - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
		The Vigenre cipher is a method of encryption that uses a series of different Caesar ciphers based on the letters of a keyword.
		The invention of the Vigenre cipher was misattributed to Blaise de Vigenre in the 19th century; it was originally described by a Giovan Batista Belaso in his 1553 book La cifra del. Sig.
		For nearly 300 years this cipher was thought to be unbreakable, but Charles Babbage and Friedrich Kasiski independently found a way to break it the middle of the 19th century.

	Caesar cipher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In cryptography, a Caesar cipher, also known as a Caesar's cipher, the shift cipher, Caesar's Code or Caesar Shift, is one of the simplest and most widely-known encryption techniques.
		The Caesar cipher is named for Julius Caesar, who used an alphabet with a shift of three.
		A Caesar shift of thirteen is also performed in the ROT13 algorithm, a simple method of obfuscating text used in some Internet forums to obscure text (such as joke punchlines and story spoilers), but not used as a method of encryption.

		Caesar shift is a very common cipher, that is incredibly easy to use.
		In this cipher, the alphabet used to encode the text is simply the standard alphabet, rotated round by an agreed number of positions.
		This cipher is incredibly easy to break, as there is only 25 different answers (not 26, a rotation of 26 would be the same as the plain text alphabet!).

	Code Breaking and Decoding Tools - The Da Vinci Game - Atbash cipher, Caesar Shift, Ceaser Square, Anagrams, ...
		The Atbash Cipher is a simple substition cipher where the first letter of the alphabet is exchanged with the last letter of the alphabet and so on.
		The Caesar Shift or Caesar Cipher can be made more complicated by having a different shift for different letters in the sequence, as in the recent code that Judge Peter Smith hid in the document of this judgement in The Da Vinci Code vs. Holy Blood, Holy Grail case.
		In addition to the ciphers above there are many other ways to code messages and the most difficult codes will use a range of different encryption methods, such as applying a sustitution cipher and then rearranging the letters using a Caesar Square or some other method.

		This calculator enciphers and deciphers text using an affine cipher (such as the Caesar cipher) in which letters are encoded using the formula C=aP+b (mod 26) where a and b are whole numbers between 0 and 25 and a is relatively prime to 26.
		The calculator also supports general substitution ciphers in which each letter is replaced by a another letter in a given permutation.
		If you're trying to crack a cipher and you think you know a few of the substitutions, it often helps to "empty" the cipher and fill in only the letters you think you know.

	Caesar Shift Cipher (Site not responding. Last check: )
		According to Suetonius, Caesar simply replaced each letter in a message with the letter that is three places further down the alphabet.
		Cryptographers often think in terms of the plaintext alphabet as being the alphabet used to write the original message, and the ciphertext alphabet as being the letters that are substituted in place of the plain letters.
		A cipher is the name given to any form of cryptographic substitution, in which each letter is replaced by another letter or symbol.

	Exercise 1: The Caesar Cipher (50%)
		This is called a substitution cipher, in which each letter of the original message (the "plaintext") is replaced by a different letter to generate the coded message (the "ciphertext").
		This simple kind of cipher is sometimes called a "Caesar Cipher" after Julius Caesar, who is said to have used it for secure battlefield messages.
		To implement a Caesar cipher with a C program, note that, when accessing individual characters in C, what you are "really" dealing with are numeric codes for the characters.

	Vignere Cipher Encoder
		The Vigenere Cipher Encoder (VCE), written by Jason M. Chu of Boston University, is an MFC application for encrypting and decrypting the Vigenere cipher text.
		An example of a shifted cipher is the Caesar's Cipher, where the secret message is generated by shifting forward every single character in the original message by 3 (e.g.
		Unlike the traditional mono-alphabetic shifted ciphers, which shift every character in a message by the same amount (such as in ROT-13 and the Caesar's Cipher), the characters in a message of a Vigenere Cipher is to be shifted by different amounts.

	How to Encode and Decode Using the Vigenere Cipher - WikiHow
		The Vigenère cipher is a method of very weak encryption that uses a series of different "Caesar ciphers" based on the letters of a keyword.
		In a Caesar Cipher, each letter in the passage is moved a certain number of letters over, to be replaced by the corresponding alphabet number.
		By way of example, this would mean that in a Caesar cipher shift of three: A would become D; B would become E; C would become F etc. A Vigènere cipher is similar to this example but more complex; this article shows you how to use it.

	Simple Substitution
		Julius Caesar is said to have used a very simple method to safeguard his communications, the so called Caesar cipher.
		In the Caesar cipher the letters of the plaintext are substituted for the letters found three places further down the alphabet (at the end of the alphabet, the letters "wrap around", so after Z, the letter A follows), and the key for Caesar's secret cipher looks like this:
		The idea of the simpler checkerboard cipher just described, together with a Caesar-like crypto were to some extent used by the old Vikings.

		Both the Atbash and Caesar ciphers are examples of substitution ciphers, codes in which one letter of the alphabet is substituted for another.
		A substitution cipher can be described succinctly by specifying its key, i.e., the sequence of letters to which the alphabet is mapped.
		Although both of these ciphers were effective at their time (when very few people could read at all), their simple patterns of encoding letters seem pretty obvious today.

		The Julius Caesar cipher is a simple form of the more general cipher known as a substitution cipher.
		As with the Julius Caesar cipher there are 25 possibilities for the first key, there also 25 possibilities for the second key, there are 25 possibilities for the third key and so on.
		The reader may have also noticed that due to the Vigenere cipher being a generalisation of the Julius Caesar cipher, it follows that for each key a given letter ALWAYS enciphers to another given letter.
