Introduction to Caesar Ciphers

The Caesar cipher is one of the earliest and simplest encryption techniques. Named after Julius Caesar, who used it for military communications, it works by shifting each letter in the message by a fixed number of positions in the alphabet.

For example, with a shift of 3, 'A' would become 'D', 'B' would become 'E', and so on. This technique, while simple by modern standards, was effective in its time and serves as a foundation for understanding more complex cryptographic systems.

Historical Significance

Julius Caesar used this cipher with a shift of 3 to protect messages of military significance. Despite its simplicity, the Caesar cipher was effective in ancient times because many of Caesar's enemies were illiterate and unfamiliar with the concept of cryptography.
