Classical Ciphers for a block cipher
Simulate a block cipher live in your browser. This runs the real Classical Ciphers solver — adjust the inputs, watch it respond instantly, and export the result. No install, no account.

The Caesar cipher shifts every letter by a fixed amount — trivially broken by trying all 25 shifts or by letter-frequency analysis. The Vigenère cipher uses a repeating keyword so each letter shifts differently, defeating simple frequency attacks for centuries until the key length could be found. Both are insecure today but perfect for learning how ciphers work.

About this simulation
The full Classical Ciphers tool models a block cipher with the same numerics engineers and scientists use — running entirely client-side. Change any parameter and the result updates in real time, so you can build intuition, check a design, or teach the concept without spreadsheets or installs.
