rot13
ROT13 (Caesar-Cipher by 13 chars) is a cipher commonly used in Usenet postings. The term cipher itself might be a bit misleading: The ROT13-algorithm is based on a rotation of all alphabetic characters by 13. Speaking in computer terms the ASCII-values of the letters are incremented or decremented by 13.
