Frequently Asked Questions
?What is the Atbash cipher?
It is a substitution cipher where each letter is replaced by its reverse in the alphabet. A becomes Z, B becomes Y, and so on.
?Is the Atbash cipher secure?
No. It is a very simple cipher used for educational purposes and puzzles. It offers no real security.
?Does it work with numbers and symbols?
Numbers, spaces, and symbols are passed through unchanged. Only letters A-Z are transformed.
?How do I decode Atbash?
Just apply the cipher again! Atbash is its own inverse — encoding and decoding are the same operation.
