Question 1 Encrypt the message using polyalphabetic cipher, given key = \'codebr

Question

Question 1

Encrypt the message using polyalphabetic cipher, given key = 'codebreaker'. Note - you can use the VIGENERE table, which is given here. The tableu is an example of polyalphabetic cipher.

It was the threat of enemy interception that…

Question 2

One way to avoid sharing the key is to use the autokey substitution cipher. A text-autokey uses the previous message text to determine the next element in the keystream (as you decrypt the text, you use the plain text as key…).

Example:

Key: TEST

Encrypted Text: MSVTRWVTSMKWUC

The decrypted text is:

MSVT RWV TSMK WUC

TEST TODA

TODA

Decrypt the following cipher encrypted by Autokey cipher, given key = 'try'.

HINT: You need to use the Vigenere tableau as a decryption tool…so you should follow the opposite procedure of what you did in exercise 1.

Question 3

Find the plaintext and the key from the following cyphertext. You can use the tool at http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/caesar.php (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. to try different keys.

The Key (number only (i.e. 45)) is:
