I'm not sure, but think that it would be a rail fence cipher. I couldn't find any information on caesars box ciphers.

My references call it a "rectangular transposition" or "route transposition" cipher, but I am sure that it is common enough and dates back far enough to have lots of different names.

Edited to add shameless plug: Those that want to learn more about this kind of cipher can check out a detailed description and JavaScript encoding/decoding tool at http://bufferoverrun.org/tools/transposition.html

Because a number of them can solve passworded Vinigier cyphers in their heads. Without being given a password. I can't even spell it correctly.
