Shift cipher

Shift cipher Modular Math and the Shift Cipher The Caesar Cipher is a type of  shift cipher . Shift Ciphers work by using the modulo operator to encrypt and decrypt messages. The Shift Cipher has a  key K , which is an  integer from 0 to 25 . We will only share this key with people that we want to see our message. How to Encrypt: For every letter in the message  M  : 1.  Convert the letter into the number that matches its order in the alphabet starting from 0, and call this number  X . ( A=0, B=1, C=2, ...,Y=24, Z=25) 2.  Calculate:  Y  =  (X + K)  mod  26 3.  Convert the number  Y  into a letter that matches its order in the alphabet starting from 0. (A=0, B=1, C=2, ...,Y=24, Z=25) For Example:  We agree with our friend to use the Shift Cipher with  key K=19 for our message.  We encrypt the message  "KHAN",  as follows:​ So, after applying the Shift Cipher with key K=19 our message t
