C++ Caesar Cipher File encryption and decryption program source code

C++ program for encrypting and decrypting any file using Caesar cipher and any key entered by the user.

You may even use this as an assignment or mini project in B. Tech. or network security subject by adding little gui and improving the source code.  Feel free to use, modify and share the code... Knowledge is always free !!!

  1. Hi! Thanks for your contribution! Just a question... Is it possible to cipher any file? i.e: pdf, jpg, mp3... or it has any limitation regarding the extension?? Thanks in advance
