Cipher also know as encryption is a great tool to hide important information in a unreadible format which can only be found following a code pattern.
It is important to cite some
ciphers that exist nowadays: transpositional ciphers and shift ciphers or caesar's cipher.
Transpotion cipher: a method of encryption by which the letter being encrypted is changed with another letter depending on the system pattern given by the cryptologist.
Example:
HOLIA SOPEL WRDHS RNOII NIHRL OTTSP TCE
Which means: "hello world this transposition cipher "
Caesar's cipher: one of the simplest an most widely known encryption techniques. Is a type of substitution cipher in which eah letter in the text is replaced by a letter with a greater position in the alphabet.
Example:
KHOOR ZRUOG
Which means: "hello world"
Cipher is a useful tool to hide information you might not want to show to anyone..
