Atbash-cijfer

Leren

Elke letter wordt vervangen door zijn spiegel in het alfabet (A naar Z, B naar Y, enz.).

The Atbash cipher is an ancient Hebrew substitution cipher that replaces each letter with the letter at the opposite end of the alphabet. A becomes Z, B becomes Y, C becomes X, and so on. The pattern is symmetric: encoding and decoding use the same operation.

A to Z, B to Y, C to X, D to W, E to V, F to U, G to T, H to S, I to R, J to Q, K to P, L to O, M to N

• HELLO -> SVOOL
• CAT -> XZG
• WIZVM -> DREAM

Zo herkent u het

• Each letter maps to its 'mirror' position
• A always becomes Z, Z always becomes A
• Encoding and decoding are identical operations

Veelgemaakte fouten

• Confusing middle letters (L->O, M->N)
• Not recognizing the symmetric pattern
• Forgetting that the same operation encodes and decodes
