Cara menggunakan Caesar and Vigenere cipher explorer
Caesar and Vigenere cipher explorer encodes or decodes text with two classical ciphers for learning and puzzles. Caesar shifts each Latin letter by 0 to 25 places; Vigenere uses a keyword of 1 to 100 letters, defaulting to LEMON. Letter case is preserved and spaces, digits and punctuation pass through unchanged. These ciphers are unsuitable for protecting sensitive information.

How do I decode a Caesar cipher if I don't know the shift?
Set Direction to decode and try shifts from 1 to 25 one at a time until readable text appears. With only 25 meaningful shifts, this brute-force check is practical by hand, which is also why Caesar offers no real protection.
Does the Vigenere key advance on spaces and punctuation?
No. The key position only moves forward on Latin letters, so spaces, digits and punctuation are copied without using up a key letter. Decoding with the same key and the decode direction restores the original text.
Are accented letters encrypted by the cipher explorer?
No. Only the 26 unaccented Latin letters, upper or lower case, are shifted. Accented characters such as é, other alphabets and numbers are left as they are, which can reveal parts of the message.
