- `i` is the letter's index from `0` to the length of the alphabet - 1.
- `m` is the length of the alphabet.
For the Roman alphabet `m` is `26`.
For the English alphabet `m` is `26`.
- `a` and `b` are integers which make up the encryption key.

Values `a` and `m` must be _coprime_ (or, _relatively prime_) for automatic decryption to succeed, i.e., they have number `1` as their only common factor (more information can be found in the [Wikipedia article about coprime integers][coprime-integers]).

The Atbash cipher is a simple substitution cipher that relies on transposing all the letters in the alphabet such that the resulting alphabet is backwards.
The first letter is replaced with the last letter, the second with the second-last, and so on.

An Atbash cipher for the Latin alphabet would be as follows:
An Atbash cipher for the English alphabet would be as follows:
