Ceasar did use something close to ROT13, well ok...he was the first "known" user of it, but anyway....that would be why it is called a Ceasar Cipher.....Just thought I would bring that up..:)

No he's not. Cryptography, the act of hidden or secret text, dates back as far as 450 B.C. in Greece. Ceasar came into power in 59 B.C. Many people believe that Cryptography is only a recent thing but it's not.Quote:

The Code Book by Simon Singh is a good historical reference. There's another but I can't remember it right now.
Just FYI.
Ceasar was probably the one to use Rot13 first, he was not the first one who used encryption in the history, which was what I meant and also probably CheeseBall.Quote:

Just another piece FYI.
:hiphop: :smokes:
The Code Book is great....but it does credit Caesar with the first recorded use of a cypher rather thatn hidding text, which Steganography...
