Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between ROT13 and a Caesar cipher?
- ROT13 is a Caesar cipher with a fixed shift of 13, which conveniently makes encoding and decoding the same operation. A generic Caesar cipher can use any shift from 1 to 25.
- Is ROT13 secure for hiding sensitive text?
- No. ROT13 is meant to lightly obscure spoilers, puzzle answers, or punchlines, not to protect real secrets. Anyone can decode it in seconds, so use real encryption for sensitive data.
- Does the cipher affect numbers and punctuation?
- Only letters are shifted; digits, spaces, and punctuation pass through unchanged. Case is preserved so uppercase stays uppercase and lowercase stays lowercase after the shift.
