Welcome!

This is a repository exclusively for decoding and encoding ciphers! The language used is Java.

To-Do list:

• add encoders & decoders to the ciphers as another method *currently in progress*
• create a website to use the encoders/decoders
• add more ciphers!

Current list of Ciphers (w/ decoders)

• Ceasar Ciphers
• Vigenere Ciphers
• A1-Z26 Ciphers
• more to come!

Additional info on Ciphers

Ceasar Cipher

• shifts each letter of the word a certain number of positions in the alphabet (cycles through so 1 ater z would be a).
• one of the simplest and most widely known encryption techniques

Vigenere Cipher

• similar to a ceasar cipher, but uses a word (key) instead of a number
• the key repeats if the to-be-encoded word is longer than the key itself
• traditional encoder/decoder:

A1-Z26 Cipher

• its number in the alphabet replaces each alphabet letter -> A=1, B=2, ... , Z=26
• a dash is inbetween each letter to differenciate which letter is which
