Question
For affine cipher, the key is a pair (a,b) for a,b<26. The
encryption algorithm is E(x)=(ax+b) mod 26. And the
decryption algorithm is D(y)=a¹(y-b) mod 26. Note that we
map A, B, C, D, ... to numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, ... respectively.
Assume that K=(7,3), then E(x)=(7x+3) mod 26, and 7-1-15.
Thus D(y)=15(y-3) mod 26.
1. For the key K=(7,3), computer the cipher text for
"GOLUNCH" is
(please use all capital
letters)
2. For the key K=(7,3), try to decrypt the cipher text
"YHQQFPGHJF" is
(please use all
capital letters)
