### Cryptography Exercise

1. **Affine Cipher Decryption Task**
   - An intercepted encrypted message reveals through frequency analysis that 'R' is the most common letter and 'X' is the least in the ciphertext.
   - **Ciphertext**: SMRER TL CJ LQJJC
   - Task: Use the frequency analysis information and the affine cipher method to decrypt the message.

2. **Vigenère Cipher Decryption Task**
   - **Ciphertext**: MS. RZ MS QWC. KKMAI LA WS WZH.
   - **Keyword**: JEDI
   - Task: Determine the plaintext message using the Vigenère cipher and the given keyword.

3. **RSA Decryption Task**
   - **Ciphertext**: 1259 0854 1647 1139
   - **Public Key**: (2021,97)
   - Task: Decrypt the message using the RSA algorithm and the provided public key.

4. **ElGamal Encryption Task**
   - Using the ElGamal cryptosystem, create and encrypt a message that is at least eight alphabetic characters long.
   - **Block Requirement**: Convert the plaintext into two-digit blocks.
   - **Public Key**: (89,14,8)
   - Task: Use a unique ephemeral key (j) to encrypt each block.

5. **Vernam Cipher and Baudot Code Task**
   - **Ciphertext Lines**:
     - 01011 11010 00110 10110 00101 01100 10101 10011 01111 10011
     - 00001 01101 10110 00001 11000 01000 00000 01101 10101 10011
   - Task: Determine the plaintext message using the first line of Chapter 2 in the textbook as the key.

6. **Additional Task**
   - **Ciphertext Specified**: Implicit from the context, potentially one of the above tasks requires further deciphering.

### Explanation of Graphs or Diagrams
There are no graphs or diagrams in the provided tasks. Each task focuses purely on textual cryptographic challenges.
