Caesar Cipher : WKH HQFUBSWHD WDON

I was reading Robert Langdon's Digital Fortress and found it to be..not bad. Here's why, the story was quite boring, but the techy stuff did make it sound interesting. And as the topic says, when I say techie, we're talking about encryption. So my facebook has been bombarded by multiple encryption for a single message, which pretty much praised Julius Caesar's cipher. On top of that, the title of this post itself is partially encrypted.

So here's how Caesar's Cipher(also known as shift cipher) works. For each alphabet that you get, shift it 3 places to the right in alphabetical order. An 'A' would be D, 'B' would be 'E', while 'C' would be F. Simple right?Well it is.

But of course, this all depends on the person who encrypts it. What if someone sends you an encrypted message that is instead multiplied by 2 whereby 'A' would be B, 'B' would become D, 'C' would become I. This all depends on the cipher itself. You could also add multiple layers to your encryption.

Here's a simple encrypted message using Caesar's Cipher : MXOLXV FDIVDU LV D JHQLXV

And here's another one to blow your brains : 680a080253cb39dc5d6d134e7d54ad75b96c821f
