Rail Fence Cipher
A form of transposition cipher that derives its name from the way in which it is encoded. The message is written zig-zag on imaginary "rails".

Substitution Cipher
Specifically the Caesar Cipher. Each letter in the plaintext is replaced by a letter some fixed number of positions down the alphabet.

Result:
-
Hybrid (Trans + Sub)
Combines both techniques: first, a Rail Fence transposition (2 rails), then a Caesar shift (+3). This significantly increases complexity.
