*Atbash is derives from the first,last,second,and second to last Hebrew Letters (Aleph-Tav-Beth-Shin)

*It works by substituting the first letter of an alphabet for the last letter,the second letter for the second to the last and  so on,effectively reversing the alphabet.

*The Atbash cipher can be seen as a special case of the affine cipher

*The Atbash is exclusively for letters only.

*The Atbash code is just the alphabet backwards.For example A would equal to Z

A=Z
B=Y
C=X
D=W
E=V
F=U
G=T
H=S
I=R
J=Q
K=P
L=O
M=N
N=M
O=L
P=K
Q=J
R=I
S=H
T=G
U=F
V=E
W=D
X=C
Y=B
Z=A

Example:

Plaintext: SOLVE

Atbash: HLOEV
