Code Snippet - How We Handle Cryptography

Date: November 2024
Update: Check out a sneak peek into the code behind our cryptographic puzzles! Here’s how we implement the Caesar cipher for encoding and decoding messages.

def caesar_cipher(text, shift):
    result = ""
    for char in text:
        if char.isalpha():
            shift_base = 65 if char.isupper() else 97
            result += chr((ord(char) - shift_base + shift) % 26 + shift_base)
        else:
            result += char
    return result

# Example usage
encrypted = caesar_cipher("Hello, Cipher Quest!", 3)
print(f"Encrypted: {encrypted}")
