ROT13 is a simple reversible letter substitution, not a security control

ROT13 replaces each supported Latin letter with the letter thirteen positions away in the alphabet. Applying the same transformation again restores the original text.

Because the transformation is fixed and universally known, ROT13 is appropriate for puzzles, demonstrations and light obfuscation only.

Good ROT13 uses

  • Demonstrate a reversible substitution cipher.
  • Hide puzzle answers from immediate casual reading.
  • Create controlled examples for text-processing exercises.

What ROT13 should not be used for

  • Do not use it to protect passwords or confidential information.
  • It does not encrypt numbers and many other characters.
  • Anyone familiar with ROT13 can reverse it immediately.

Before relying on the result

Keep the source until you have checked the generated output. The source and destination formats can represent structure, layout and metadata differently, so important documents should be reviewed in the application or device where the result will actually be used.
