Pen-and-paper ciphers: Caesar, Affine, Vigenère, Hill.
Classical ciphers guide:
• Caesar: Simple shift cipher - enter text and shift value (1-25)
• Affine: Mathematical cipher - 'a' must be coprime to 26 (1,3,5,7,9,11,15,17,19,21,23,25)
• Vigenère: Keyword-based cipher - uses repeating keyword for encryption
• Hill: Matrix cipher - enter 2×2 matrix as comma-separated values (a,b,c,d)
• Caesar: Simple shift cipher - enter text and shift value (1-25)
• Affine: Mathematical cipher - 'a' must be coprime to 26 (1,3,5,7,9,11,15,17,19,21,23,25)
• Vigenère: Keyword-based cipher - uses repeating keyword for encryption
• Hill: Matrix cipher - enter 2×2 matrix as comma-separated values (a,b,c,d)
Caesar Cipher
A simple substitution cipher that shifts each letter by a fixed number of positions in the alphabet.
