Information and Network Security (2170709)

Practical – 10

Aim: - Implement Brute Force attack on Caesar cipher.

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
string encrypt(string x,int n)
{
string cipher="";
for(int i=0;i<x.length();i++)
{
if(isupper(x[i]))
cipher += (x[i] + n - 65)%26 + 65;
else if(islower(x[i]))
cipher += (x[i] + n - 97)%26 + 97;
else
cipher += x[i];
}
return cipher;
}

void decrypt(string x)
{
string text;
for(int n=0;n<26;n++)

}
else

}
cout << "plain text for key " << n << " :- " << text << endl;
