Here will the A replaced by T, B by U, C by V etc. So will next string encrypted:

Decryption

Decription happens by the same cicle showed in the encryption example. Example:

Hacking

Ceasar ciphers are easy to hack. If you know that an encrypted A is equal to H and a P is equal to I, everything with the same encryption key could be encrypted.
