In this tutorial, we’re going back in time. We’re going to see how to implement the Caesar cipher in Python. The Caesar cipher, also known as the Caesar shift or Caesar's code, is one of the oldest and simplest encryption techniques in the history of cryptography. The Caesar cipher ...
Julius Caesar invented another early cipher -- one that was very simple and yet confounded his enemies. He created enciphered messages by shifting the order of the alphabet by a certain number of letters. For example, if you were to shift the English alphabet down three places, the letter ...
Like caesar_cipher(), vigenere_cipher() iterates over each letter of the input text to encrypt or decrypt it: Python for i, char in enumerate(text): current_key = key[i % len(key)] In the above code, you can see the function’s first use of the modulo operator: Python curren...
The algorithm is simple and involves substituting a letter with another from later in the alphabet. The key is how many spots in the alphabet you must move to find the original letter or set of letters in a word to decrypt the message. The key was three in this version of Caesar cipher...
In this paper, we propose Tweak-aNd-Tweak (TNT for short) mode, which builds a tweakable block cipher from three independent block ciphers. TNT handles the tweak input by simply XOR-ing the unmodified tweak into the internal state of block ciphers twice. Due to its simplicity, TNT can also...
The most important concepts to understand to grasp how PKI works are keys and certificates. A key, as already noted, is a long string of bits — a number, in other words — that’s used to encrypt data. For instance, if you used the ancient and simple Caesar cipher with a cr...

How algorithms and keys are used to make a plaintext message unintelligible After the data is converted from plaintext to ciphertext, it can be decoded only through the use of the proper key. This key might be the same one used for encoding the data or a different one, depending on th...
The Caesar cipher was once state-of-the-art in keeping messages secret by substituting one letter for another. It is now reduced to a cryptogram game that my 96-year-old grandmother tackles daily. We’ve come a long way since Caesar ciphers were state-of-the-art, but ...
