Answers to Questions
How to encrypt using Rot-13?
Encryption with Rot-13 replaces a letter by another one placed 13 position after in the alphabet
Example: ABCDEFGHIJKLM
NOPQRSTUVWXYZ
Example: DCODE is crypted QPBQR with ROT-13
How to decrypt Rot-13 cipher?
Rot-13 decryption is identical to encryption, due to the reciprocal substituting alphabet used:
Example: ABCDEFGHIJKLM
NOPQRSTUVWXYZ
Example: QPBQR becomes DCODE.
How to recognize ROT-13 ciphertext?
Frequency analysis shows a shift of 13 letters. A message encoded by Rot13 has an index of coincidence similar to the language of the plain text.
What are the variants of the Rot-13 cipher?
Rot-13 is in fact a Caesar cipher with a shift of 13. As this code only works with letters, it was proposed to use it with the Rot5 for numbers or the Rot47 for ASCII values.
What is the particularity of ROT13 Cipher?
An offset of 13 allows the encryption to be reversible. The encryption and decryption method are identical. Applying 2 consecutive encryptions (2 shifts of 13) heads to find the original text.
