Description

This web application can encrypt text inputs using Caesar's Cipher. It is a type of substitution cipher in which each letter in the inputted text is replaced by a different letter that is determined by the user's desired direction and the number of positions down the alphabet.

Setup/Installation Requirements

Install and initiate MAMP or similar solution stack of your preference if your local machine does not have them already
Clone the project directory from https://github.com/anandangalig/shift-cipher.git
Initiate MAMP in the highest level of the cloned directory
Open PHPMyAdmin, create a new database, and import the latest zipped .sql file from the db-backup folder
Go to localhost:8888 in your favorite browser to use the application
