ROT18 Cipher

Apply ROT13 to letters and ROT5 to digits simultaneously, leaving all other characters unchanged.

Description

Apply ROT13 to letters and ROT5 to digits simultaneously, leaving all other characters unchanged.

ROT18 Cipher: Apply ROT13 to letters and ROT5 to digits simultaneously, leaving all other characters unchanged.

When to use ROT18 Cipher

Use this classical cipher operation for education, puzzles, interoperability with historical text, or reversible obfuscation where modern security is not required.

Text
Required string input.

How ROT18 Cipher works

Apply ROT13 to letters and ROT5 to digits simultaneously, leaving all other characters unchanged. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1

ROT18 result
The resulting rot18 result returned as a string.

Limitations and assumptions

  • Classical substitution and XOR demonstrations are not secure merely because the result looks unreadable. Small key spaces, repeated keys, language statistics, known plaintext, encoding mistakes, and unauthenticated modification make them unsuitable for protecting sensitive data.
  • Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Alternative or Complementary approaches

For real confidentiality and integrity, use a reviewed authenticated-encryption construction with secure key generation and management. Preserve the alphabet, encoding, key convention, and treatment of unsupported characters for reproducibility.

    Rotate decimal digits 0-9 by five positions while leaving every other character unchanged.

  • Affine Cipher Encoder

    Encrypt Latin letters with the affine cipher ((a x) + b) mod 26, preserving case and leaving non-letters unchanged.
