Table for shift cipher:
Q-1:
Encipher the message MISSION IMPOSSIBLE by using a shift cipher with .
Solution:
Here , so we need a shift of 7 letters to encipher the message.
Now, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE is converted to TPZZPVUPTWZZPISL by using a shift cipher with .
Q-2:
Decipher the cryptogram, WSCCSYX MYWZVODON, assuming it was enciphered by using a shift cipher with .
Would you like further details on solving this cipher problem?
Further Questions:
- How does the shift cipher encryption work in general?
- What happens if you use a negative value for in a shift cipher?
- Can you explain how to decrypt a message if you only know part of the text?
- What other types of substitution ciphers are similar to shift ciphers?
- How can shift ciphers be broken if the shift key is unknown?
Tip:
When decrypting a shift cipher, try shifting backwards by places to retrieve the original text.
