Practical No. 05: Write A Program To Implement Caesar Cipher I. Practical Significance

This document outlines a practical assignment to implement a Caesar cipher encryption program. The key points are: 1) Students will design and develop a program to encrypt messages using the Caesar cipher technique, which shifts each letter by a fixed number. 2) The program will take a text string and shift value as inputs and return the encrypted text string. 3) Implementation of the cipher involves traversing the text and shifting each character according to the encryption rule.

05: Write a program to implement Caesar cipher

I. Practical Significance

In cryptography, a Caesar cipher is categorized as a substitution cipher in which the alphabet in the plain
text is shifted by a fixed number down the alphabet. Advantages of using a Caesar cipher include: One of the
easiest methods to use in cryptography and can provide minimum security to the information.

Hence, students will be able to implement Caesar cipher

VII. Minimum TheoreticalBackground

What is Caesar Cipher?

It is one of the simplest encryption technique in which each character in plain text is replaced by a
character some fixed number of positions down to it.

For example, if key is 3 then we have to replace character by another character that is 3 position down to it.
Like A will be replaced by D, C will be replaced by F and so on.

For decryption just follow the reverse of encryption process.

For example, here’s the Caesar Cipher encryption of a full message, using a left shift of 3.

VIII. Procedure

 Traverse the given text one character at a time.


 For each character, transform the given character as per the rule, depending on whether we’re encrypting
or decrypting the text.
 Return the new string generated.
 Program that receives a Text (string) and Shift value (integer) and returns the encrypted text.
