AIM: To implement Caesar cipher encryption

Encryption: Replace each plaintext letter with one Fixed number of places down the alphabet.
Decryption: Replace each ciphertext letter with one a fixed number of places up the alphabet.

Program Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

std::string caesar_cipher_encrypt(const std::string& plaintext, int shift) {

std::string encrypted = "";
for (char ch : plaintext) {
if (isalpha(ch)) {
char shift_base = isupper(ch) ? 'A' : 'a';
encrypted += (ch - shift_base + shift) % 26 + shift_base;
} else {
encrypted += ch;
}
}
return encrypted;
}

std::string caesar_cipher_decrypt(const std::string& ciphertext, int shift) {

return caesar_cipher_encrypt(ciphertext, -shift);
}

int main() {
int shift = 3;
std::string plaintext = "HELLO WORLD!";

std::string ciphertext = caesar_cipher_encrypt(plaintext, shift);

std::string decrypted_text = caesar_cipher_decrypt(ciphertext, shift);

std::cout << "Plaintext: " << plaintext << std::endl;

std::cout << "Ciphertext: " << ciphertext << std::endl;
std::cout << "Decrypted Text: " << decrypted_text << std::endl;

return 0;
}

Output:
Plaintext: HELLO WORLD!
Ciphertext: KHOOR ZRUOG!
Decrypted Text: HELLO WORLD!

Result:
The Caesar cipher successfully encrypted the plaintext "HELLO WORLD!" to "KHOOR ZRUOG!" and
then decrypted it back to the original plaintext. This demonstrates the basic functionality of substitution
ciphers in terms of encryption and decryption.

std::string plaintext = "HELLO WORLD!";

std::string ciphertext = monoalphabetic_encrypt(plaintext, key);

 std::string decrypted_text = monoalphabetic_decrypt(ciphertext, inverse_key);

std::cout << "Plaintext: " << plaintext << std::endl;

std::cout << "Ciphertext: " << ciphertext << std::endl;
std::cout << "Decrypted Text: " << decrypted_text << std::endl;

return 0;
}

Output:
Plaintext: HELLO WORLD!
Ciphertext: ITSSG VQKTD!
Decrypted Text: HELLO WORLD!

Result:

Output:
Original Message: This is a secret message.
Signature: a3f2e6ec9f3dff7f8a1fba8b735d8dbb9f3e3b6ab1b47f4d17e2c6d89005c08a...
Signature Verified: True

Result:
The digital signature algorithm successfully generated a signature for the message and verified it using the
corresponding public key. This demonstrates the authentication and integrity of the digital message.
