In this first cache we start out with ROT-13, well known from the hints of geocaches. This encryption is a monoalphabetic cipher, that is, it always converts one letter to the same other letter, and it is symmetric, as the procedure for decryption is precisely as the procedure for encryption. The method consists of replacing the first letter of the alphabet with the 14th the secondwith the 15th and so on, thus the distance is always 13, hence the name.
