- caesar cipher
- simple substitution scheme (rotation)
- vulnerable to cryptanalysis
- key is a single integer
- symmetrical (same key for encrypt and decrypt)
- so ciphertext has the same patterns as the plaintext e.g., letter frequencies
- this leads to cryptanalysis: systematic ways of determining the encryption scheme
- modern ciphers aim to make the cipher text resemble *noise* (random data)
