HAVING FUN WITH CODES

1.
Read about Cesar Ciphers.

Visit the
Cryptography Tutorial and decode the three strings shown.

Cut and paste the decoded answer and record the value of the shift key for each.

1a ___________________ _____

1b ___________________ _____

1c ___________________ _____

2. Take the encoded text below and perform character frequency analysis on it

using the
provided tool.

2a.Take a screen snapshot and cut and paste the result to your report.

3. Next, take the encrypted text and change the replacement letters using
this tool and try to decode the text. Some of the characters will be wrong. You just have to experiment a little to find the right match.

Here are some hints:

Only the first two characters from the letter frequency analysis are correct. The others are close but not exact.

Experiment with specific letter substitutions to figure out the words. For instance:

· One letter words are likely: a or I

· Two letter words might be: if it of an or on in at as to

· Three letter words might include: the (the most common) for and can but not

If you get stuck, here are some more hints:

This is a partial decryption set showing 9 of the 6 characters of the alphabet.

Once you have deciphered the text complete the following:

3a. Cut and paste the decoded text to your report.

3b. Cut and paste the resultant substitution matrix into your report as well.

4. For an extra challenge, try this text. It is trickier:

Use the same strategy as before to decode the words.

Hint…some words may not look right.

Here is a partial decode hint showing 10 characters.

4a. Cut and paste the decoded text to your report.

4b. Cut and paste the resultant substitution matrix into your report as well.

5. Write a one page summary of what you have done and what you think of these ciphers and tools.
