Encryption is present in all aspects of information technology. Any information that you want to keep secret should be encrypted, and only the intended recipient should have the key to decrypt.

For as long as ciphers have existed to encrypt information, hackers have existed who attempt to crack the key and illicitly decipher the message.

(1) In this discussion, you will first encrypt information using a linear cipher. Then, you will become the hacker and discuss ways to crack one another’s messages.

(2) Encrypted Message = gjsofrnshtymwfs (For this encryption explain how to decrypt and decrypt using linear affine cipher)

(3) Encrypted Message = NTH RHDF VN LDZZNJRHPB
