The Caesar cipher! I feel so honored that you chose to use my favorite cipher! I don't know how much you know about the history of the Caesar cipher. You usually don't learn about this important stuff in school, do you?
During Julius Caesar's time, the Caesar cipher was thought to be unbreakable, which explains why he used it. Remarkable is that in all of Caesar's encrypted texts he moved the alphabet by 3 places. For anyone who could have known this, it would have been easy as cake to read his messages, but apparently that didn't bother anyone.
You, however, didn't go that cheap and copied old Caesar. You moved the alphabet by 7 places, right? So your plaintext and your ciphertext alphabets look like this:
| a | b | c | d | e | f | g | h | i | j | k | l | m | n | o | p | q | r | s | t | u | v | w | x | y | z |
| H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z | A | B | C | D | E | F | G |
The only problem with this is that 7 is a lucky number for code crackers like me. We know that 7 is considered special and lucky and that therefore many people use it as a key. In fact, whenever I crack a message, I first check if it isn't Caesar by 7. Too bad for you.
Since you two seem to enjoy ciphers just like I do, I thought you might also have fun with my little Caesar coder. If you are interested, here's the address: ?????
