Q-1 The following ciphertext was encryption of an English sentence using a shift cipher:
ERETTPIEHECOIITWXLIHSGXSVEAEC.
Find the original sentence.
Ans. Most used alphabets are E and I.
So, E can be A and I can be E, then key will be 4.
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z A B C D
Hence original sentence will be;
Encryption: An Apple a day keeps the doctor away
Q-2 Encrypt the following plaintext using the affine cipher with key (a, b) = (5, 8) and
obtain the ciphertext.
Knowledge is power
Ans. Encryption with affine cipher done with this formula,
y = ax+b mod 26; where a=5 and b=8;
Using this formula encryption table will be.
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
I N S X C H M R W B G L Q V A F K P U Z E J O T Y D
