Caesar Cipher Cracking The Code

The document discusses the Caesar Cipher, a method of shifting letters for encryption, originally used by Julius Caesar. It outlines a Python implementation that includes user interaction for encoding and decoding messages, along with core functions for cipher logic. The project serves as a foundation for understanding encryption techniques and encourages further exploration of more complex ciphers.
