Question: Primary Task Response:

Julius Caesar used one of the earliest known cipher systems to communicate with Cicero in Rome while he was conquering Europe. Caesar knew that there was a very high risk of ambush or spies when sending messages; therefore, he developed a cryptographic system now known as the Caesar cipher. Please provide a detailed response to the below to include specific details and examples.

• What is the Caesar ROT3 Cipher?

• How does it work?

• Although the Caesar cipher is easy to use, it is easy to crack. How would an attacker break a Caesar-style cipher?

Try your hand!

1. Encrypt the below message using the Caesar ROT3 cipher.

• I WILL BECOME A CRYPTOGRAPHIC GURU

2. Decrypt the below message using the Caesar ROT3 cipher.
