Does this already look unreadable to you?

#Ciphertext is nothing else than unreadable data. To decipher it, you need the #key. 🔑

Interestingly enough, already Ancient Greeks used ciphers.

LOL! It may be all Greek to most, but that doesn't mean it is necessarily unreadable or ciphered. This, isn't 😆

Good article! 👍!

nope! That is not unreadable 🤣 It is Greek that any Greek can read and it is not cyphered! Just it doesn't make sense as we see only a small portion of the text but still some words are readable.

We get what you want to say though 😉 and the scytale (σκυταλη) is the perfect example to explain simply encryption and decryption of a message.
