Caesar Cipher Mechanics

Implement and break the classic ROT-N substitution cipher.

Welcome

The Caesar cipher is the simplest substitution cipher. Each letter is shifted by a fixed number of positions in the alphabet. Let's implement and break it.

How Caesar Cipher Works

With shift 3: A→D, B→E, ..., Z→C. 'HELLO' becomes 'KHOOR'. Decryption shifts back: 'KHOOR' becomes 'HELLO'.
