Study Notes
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
