In cryptography, a Caesar cipher, is one of the simplest and most widely known encryption techniques.
It is a type of substitution cipher in which each letter in the plain text is replaced by a letter some fixed number of positions down the alphabet.
For example, with a shift of 1, A would be replaced by B, B would become c, and so on.
The method is named after Julius Caesar, who used it to communicate with his generals.
The Caesar cipher is AKA (also known as): Caesar's cipher, shift cipher, Caesar's code or Caesar shift.

I heard only the name of this technique but above shared information helped to fully understand the meaning and its purpose. Although its a basic technique but is very powerful.
