What is Affine Cipher?

as Wikipedia says: The affine cipher is a type of monoalphabetic substitution cipher, where each letter in an alphabet is mapped to its numeric equivalent, encrypted using a simple mathematical function, and converted back to a letter.

Formula

  C = (a * P + b) mod 26
  P = (a ^ -1 * (C - b)) mod 26
