The Caesar Cipher is one of the oldest forms of encryption. It certainly has its trade-offs when compared to other encryptions.

Make sure you’ve spent time exploring the previous examples that show the encryption, decryption, and cracking of a Caesar Cipher, then answer the following questions:

What are some of the advantages of using a Caesar Cipher?
What are some of the disadvantages of using a Caesar Cipher?
Does the Caesar Cipher use the symmetric encryption model, or the asymmetric encryption model? Explain your answer.
If you intercepted a message that had been encrypted using a Caesar Cipher, what is the maximum number of times you would need to guess-and-check different keys for the cipher before cracking it?
