The Atbash cipher is a particular type of monoalphabetic cipher formed by taking the alphabet (or abjad, syllabary, etc.) and mapping it to its reverse, so that the first letter becomes the last letter, the second letter becomes the second to last letter, and so on.Due to the fact that there is only one way to perform this, the Atbash cipher provides a communications security, as it lacks any sort of key.

For example: 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' is translated to 'ZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKJIHGFEDCBA'
