C.2 Examples for Chapter 2

Example 1

A shift cipher was used to obtain the ciphertext kddkmu.

Decrypt it by trying all possibilities.

>> allshift(’kddkmu’)


kddkmu
leelnv
mffmow
nggnpx
ohhoqy

As you can see, attack is the only word that occurs on this list, so that was the plaintext.

Example 2

Encrypt the plaintext message cleopatra using the affine function $7 x + 8$ :

>> affinecrypt(’cleopatra’,7,8)

ans =


’whkcjilxi’

Example 3

The ciphertext mzdvezc was encrypted using the affine function $5 x + 12$ . Decrypt it.

SOLUTION

First, solve $y \equiv 5 x + 12 (m o d 26)$ for $x$ to obtain $x \equiv 5^{- 1} (y - 12)$ . We need to find the ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.
