This application has 3 main functions to interact with caesar ciphers:
- Solve: checks the validity of words after each shift attempt (0-25).
- Encrypt: shift every letter forward, in the given string alphabetically, by a certain shift.
- Decrypt: shift every letter backward, in the given string alphabetically, by a certain shift.
The solving feature consists of breaking the input string by words and calculating the number of words found in a dictionary after each shift, keeping track of shift that has the most matches.
Rate limiting capabilities to protect against spam from clients and even denial of service (DoS) attacks.
