Monoalphabetic Ciphers Caesar Cipher

The Caesar cipher is a simple substitution cipher that replaces each letter in a message with the letter three positions further down the alphabet. For example, A becomes D, B becomes E, and so on, wrapping around from Z to A. The document provides an example of encoding "caesar cipher" as "fdhvdu flskhu" using this cipher. It also defines the cipher by listing the plain text alphabet and the corresponding cipher text alphabet.

Caesar Cipher

The simplest use of a substitution cipher was proposed by Julius Caesar. The Caesar
cipher involves replacing each letter of the alphabet with the letter standing
three places further down the alphabet. So, each A will be replaced by D, each B
will be replaced by , and so on. Further, each W is replaced by Z For example, each
X is replaced by A, each Y is replaced by B and each Z is replaced by C to complete
the cycle.

We can define the transformation by listing all possibilities, as follows:

PLAIN TEXT : a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v
w x y z
CIPHER TEXT : D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z A B C

Note that the alphabet is wrapped around, so that the letter following Z is A.
For example,

PLAIN TEXT : c a e s a r c i p h e r
CIPHER TEXT : FDHVDU FLSKHU

3.2. Monoalphabetic Ciphers

A monoalphabetic substitution is a cipher in which each occurrence of a plaintext


symbol is replaced by a corresponding cipher text symbol to generate cipher text.
The key for such a cipher is a table of the correspondence or a function from which
the correspondence is computed.

Alphabet Mixing via a Keyword


A keyword or key phrase can be used to mix the letters to generate the cipher
alphabet.
For example: If the keyword is MONOALPHABETIC CIPHER, then for,

Plain Text : A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U
V W X Y Z
Cipher Text : M O N A L P H B E T I C R D F G J K Q S U V
W X Y Z
