Question
Using the monoalphabetic cipher, part of the ciphertext is the following: M AKQB DCMR TAZRR (I have left a blank space between the words to make the problem easier). The following are the approximate relative frequencies of the whole ciphertext B:12, J:11, D:8, K:8, M:7, U:7, Z:7 ; R:5, F:4, L:4, A:4, C:4 Y:2, T:3, X:2, H:1, 1:1, 0:1, N:1, Q:1, E:1, G:1 ;W You have to figure out what is the plaintext corresponding to the above ciphertext segment, final result with calculations. NO Program required.Explanation / Answer
