Step 1

An affine cipher, (like a shift cipher), is an example of a substitution cipher: In encryption using a substitution
cipher, each time a given letter occurs in the plaintext, it always is replaced by the same ciphertext letter.
For example, the plaintext letter ‘e’ might be replaced by the ciphertext letter ‘K’ each time it occurs. The
method used for this replacement in affine encryption can be viewed as a generalization of the method used
for encryption using a shift cipher.
