Assignment 1

1. The document contains 5 questions and answers related to encrypting text using different ciphers (shift, affine, monoalphabetic, Vigenere, and Playfair) with given keys. 2. For the first question, the original plaintext recovered from the shift cipher was "An Apple a day keeps the doctor away". 3. For the second question, the ciphertext produced from encrypting "Knowledge is power" with the affine cipher using the key (5,8) was "Gvaolcxmc wu faocp".

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
Encryption: Gvaolcxmc wu faocp
