Caesar's Cipher Simulator

Encryption has been along for quite a while now, and this greatly evolved with the evolution of technology. A basic one is the Caesar Cipher, which converts text using the same letters of the alphabet, but offset by a few characters. To test out the functionality of such an encryption method, and even to benefit from it, Caesar's Cipher Simulator comes with the right set of tools.

Before you can actually enjoy all it has to offer, it’s best to make sure that Java Runtime Environment is on your computer, because it’s a mandatory requirement. On the other hand, you can store the application on a thumb drive to use on other computers, and registry entries are kept intact during the whole process.

The interface sports a clean, organized look, letting both beginners and experienced individuals quickly get the hang of things. A couple of fields are used as input, as well as output for custom text strings. The cipher can be customized by modifying the cipher offset number.

Note that if the offset value is 26 then encryption is not done, because all characters are skipped until the alphabet starts again. It’s best to keep the cipher a secret, because figuring it out is not exactly rocket science.

Input text goes in a dedicated field, and you need to paste it or write it down on the spot, because the application can’t read any kind of text files. Encoding is done at the press of a button, and the equivalent message is displayed in the output field. Decoding is done in a similar manner, with input placed in the appropriate field.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Caesar's Cipher Simulator is a good example to show you how the Caesar Cipher works, and you can even benefit from this method of encryption. It’s easy to use and carry around so you always have an encryption tool at hand.
