    Substitution Ciphers

    • A substitution cipher is a method of encryption where each plaintext element (e.g., letter, symbol) is replaced by a different element
    • It involves replacing each unit of plaintext with a corresponding unit of ciphertext

    Caesar Cipher

    • A Caesar cipher is a type of substitution cipher where each letter in the plaintext is 'shifted' a certain number of places down the alphabet
    • It is a simple and ancient encryption technique

    Purpose of Substitution Ciphers

    • The primary purpose of a substitution cipher is to conceal the meaning of a message, ensuring only the intended recipient can decipher and read it
    • Substitution ciphers are used to provide confidentiality and security to the communication
