Caesar Cipher

Inspiration

Caesar Cipher

Caesar Cipher is one of the earliest and simplest method of encryption. It is a substitution cipher, where each letter of a given text is replaced by a latter some fixed number of positions down the alphabet.

Eg: If the key is 1, A would be replaced by B, B becomes C and so on.

The method is apparently named after Julius Caesar who is said to have used it to communicate with his officials

What it does

This Program allows you to encrypt your text using Caesar cypher with a key of your choosing.

How we built it

Built using python and has two functions one to encrypt and the other to decrypt

Challenges we ran into

The algorithm to replace each letter using the key given was difficult to come up with.

What we learned

The technique of Caesar Cipher and how to implement it in code
