Perform a ROT13 cipher shift on a simple plaintext:

python3 crypto.py "HELLO WORLD" -c caesar -e -k 13

Decipher polybius coordinate numbers using a standard polybius square:

python3 crypto.py 23153131345234423114 -c polybius -d

Encrypt a plaintext using the key "HELLO" and a polybius square shifted with the keyword "WORLD":

python3 crypto.py HELLOWORLD -c nihlist -k HELLO -s WORLD
