The atbash cipher or atbash code is a type
of cipher that was originally used to encode
the Hebrew alphabet, but works just as well
with the English alphabet too. It is a substitution
cipher which is formed by taking the alphabet
and then reversing it so that A becomes Z,
so that B becomes Y and that C becomes X and
so on.
It has apparently been used in the Bible several
times, but I can’t tell you whether this
is true or not.
It’s not very secure as a code because if
you work out that a message is written in
atbash cipher, you can almost instantly translate
it as there’s no key that you need to decode
it. It’s the same everywhere.
Ok so here are some examples. The word pirate
goes to krizguv, the word calcium goes to
xzoxerfen, and my name, B martin, goes to
y nizigerm. Now there are some words in the
English language that ‘atbash’ into other
English words. Here goes: low goes to old,
horn goes to slim, glow goes to told, zoo
goes to all, and I’m not gonna bore you
with the rest, but that’s it from me. Be

other cipher videos. Thank you guys, you mean
so much to me. I’ll see you all again soon.
Bye.
