    Caesar Cipher: Example

    Uploaded by

    User
    The Caesar cipher is a simple encryption technique where each letter in the plaintext is shifted a fixed number of positions down the alphabet. For example, with a left shift of 3, D would be encrypted as A, E as B, and so on. The document provides an example of the cipher using a left shift of 3 and encrypts the plaintext "THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG" to the ciphertext "QEB NRFZH YOLTK CLU GRJMP LSBO QEB IXWV ALD". It then describes creating a CaesarCipher class with methods to encrypt and decrypt text along with a derived CaesarCipherFile class to encrypt and decrypt files.

    Caesar cipher

    In cryptography, a Caesar cipher, also known as Caesar's cipher, the shift cipher, Caesar's code or
    Caesar shift, is one of the simplest and most widely known encryption techniques. It is a type of
    substitution cipher in which each letter in the plaintext is replaced by a letter some fixed number of
    positions down the alphabet. For example, with a left shift of 3, D would be replaced by A, E would
    become B, and so on. The method is named after Julius Caesar, who used it in his private
    correspondence.

    Example
    The transformation can be represented by aligning two alphabets; the cipher alphabet is the plain
    alphabet rotated left or right by some number of positions. For instance, here is a Caesar cipher
    using a left rotation of three places, equivalent to a right shift of 23 (the shift parameter is used as
    the key):
    Plain: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
    Cipher: XYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVW

    When encrypting, a person looks up each letter of the message in the "plain" line and writes down
    the corresponding letter in the "cipher" line.
    Plaintext: THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG
    Ciphertext: QEB NRFZH YOLTK CLU GRJMP LSBO QEB IXWV ALD

    Design a class CaesarCipher with methods to decrypt and encrypt a plain text to cipher text and
    visa-versa given the key (shift parameter).

    Create a TestCaesarCipher having the main( ) function to test the above methods.

    Derive the class CaesarCipherFile from the super class CaesarCipherFile and add the methods
    encryptFile and decryptFile which accepts the complete path of a text file containing the
    plain/cipher text and the key(shift parameter) to encrypt and decrypt the file respectively.

    Base class: CaesarCipher


    Methods:
    String encrypt( String plainText, int key )
    String decrypt( String cipherText, int key )

    Dervied class: CaesarCipherFile


    void encryptFile( String pathToSourceFile, int key, String pathToTargetFile )
    void decryptFile( String pathToSourceFile, int key, String pathToTargetFile )

    Also create a TestCaesarCipherFile having the main( ) function to test the above methods.
