📜 The Origins

Named after Julius Caesar, who used it to protect military secrets. It's one of the earliest and simplest forms of encryption, involving a simple 'shift' of the alphabet.

🚀 Master the Tool

Enter your message and select a shift value (the 'key'). Your text will instantly transform into a scrambled code that only someone with the key can decipher.
