    Default Cryptography help.. (Need simple algorithms)

    So I'm doing this presentation about Cryptography tomorrow.. I've made a lil test with some simple encoding/decoding questions. However I ran out of creative ideas.

    So, do you know a simple crytpographic algorithm please post..

    ^ Can range from literally reversing a string to doing simple methods like ROT13.
    (no RSA shit, aint going into cryptography that deep)

    Caesar Cipher perhaps? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_cipher
    I guess it's a bit like ROT13, but more general.

    The ADFGVX cipher is really really easy to explain, but was pretty effective for its original purposes.
    I made a new script, check it out!.

    Yes, it is indeed easy to explain.. However after explaining like 5 other methods, people might get confused

    If you already have that many methods, maybe you would be better off to expand upon them rather than introducing more?
    Interested in C# and Electrical Engineering? This might interest you.

    Maybe talk about credit cards and all that? People use it daily and generally don't know how it works.. I find it quite interesting. :>
