Text Encryption   Encryption plays an important role in protecting messages that are transmitted across the network. There are many symmetric and asymmetric encryption techniques that can be used in order to encrypt text messages. Some of these techniques are Caesar, Rows-Columns Transposition, Rail- fence, and Playfair cipher encryption as well as advance encryption algorithms. In this project, you are required to write a code that is capable of encrypting any given text (or text file) into a cipher text using any two different methods. You should prompt the user to choose the method that they would like to encrypt their text from a given list. Challenge: develop your code to decrypt the cipher text that is encrypted above   Example: Assume the text TO SERVE AND TO PROTECT is required to be encrypted using Row-Column with the password ALERT   Then the text message in Rows-Columns Transposition will become: TVTTSAPCOEOEENRTRDOX. The same text message in Rail-fence with depth of 4 would be: TRNPEOVDRCSETOTEAOTX. The text when using Playfair would be: AUQRAYRLKGAUSLUALDEZ.     please write comments in each line for explaining the code

Text Encryption

 

Encryption plays an important role in protecting messages that are transmitted across the network. There are many symmetric and asymmetric encryption techniques that can be used in order to encrypt text messages. Some of these techniques are Caesar, Rows-Columns Transposition, Rail- fence, and Playfair cipher encryption as well as advance encryption algorithms.

In this project, you are required to write a code that is capable of encrypting any given text (or text file) into a cipher text using any two different methods. You should prompt the user to choose the method that they would like to encrypt their text from a given list.

Challenge: develop your code to decrypt the cipher text that is encrypted above

 

Example:

Assume the text TO SERVE AND TO PROTECT is required to be encrypted using Row-Column with the password ALERT

 

Then the text message in Rows-Columns Transposition will become:

TVTTSAPCOEOEENRTRDOX. The same text message in Rail-fence with depth of 4 would be: TRNPEOVDRCSETOTEAOTX. The text when using Playfair would be: AUQRAYRLKGAUSLUALDEZ.
