Thanks!


           >>>  Because of its simplicity, Atbash hasn’t been used for
serious encryption purposes but it has been used to disguise words from
casual readers. One example of this is in the bible where place names
have been encrypted using Atbash in some chapters of Jeremiah. 

For example, Jeremiah 25:26 reads, ‘The King of Sheshach shall drink
after them.’ 

Decrypting Seshach using Atbash gives you the more recognisable word,
‘Babylon’.



-------- there's a word for hiding a ciphered text in plain sight ,  in
this way
