Código César
To use this cipher, just shift every letter of the alphabet forward or backward a fixed
THE CODE: number of spaces—you can move the entire alphabet as many spaces as you want. In
CAESAR this example, we shifted the alphabet just one space: A becomes B, B becomes C, and so
on until you reach the end of the alphabet. Then Y becomes Z, and Z becomes A.
CIPHER You can write this out as a table. The bottom row is the code, and the top letters are
the translations.
A B C D E F G H I J K L M
B C D E F G H I J K L M N
