The Caesar Cipher: Follow instructions: APA format: No Plagrism

 Primary Task Response:

Julius  Caesar used one of the earliest known cipher systems to communicate  with Cicero in Rome while he was conquering Europe.  Caesar knew that  there was a very high risk of ambush or spies when sending messages;  therefore, he developed a cryptographic system now known as the Caesar  cipher.  Please provide a detailed response to the below to include  specific details and examples.

• What is the Caesar ROT3 Cipher?
• How does it work?
• Although the Caesar cipher is easy to use, it is easy to crack.  How would an attacker break a Caesar-style cipher?  

Try your hand!

1.  Encrypt the below message using the Caesar ROT3 cipher.
