This document contains an assignment on information security and cryptography for a computer engineering course. The assignment includes encrypting messages using various ciphers like additive, multiplicative, affine, Vigenere, autokey, Playfair, and hill ciphers. It also involves using attacks like brute force and chosen plaintext attacks to decrypt encrypted messages. Additionally, it requires explaining the components of modern block ciphers, distinguishing between diffusion and confusion, synchronous and nonsynchronous stream ciphers, and explaining Feistel block ciphers.

3. Encrypt the message “this is an exercise” using following ciphers
A. Additive cipher with key = 20
B. Multiplicative cipher with key = 15
C. Affine cipher with key = (15,20)
D. Vigenere cipher with key = “dollars”
E. Autokey cipher with key = 7
