    Cryptool Tasks Assessment

    Read the instructions mentioned in the tasks properly to execute the tasks without any problem:
    1. Decrypt the ciphertext given below for this task through Caesar cipher:

    Xlmw irgvCtxih qiwweki wlepp gpevmjC lsA RSX xs irgvCtx e qiwweki xsheC! Izir mj mx
    Aew wyjjmgmirx efsyx 6444 Cievw eks, sv xs fi qsvi tvigmwi mr xli Ciev 88 FG, rsAeheCw

    mrjsvqexmsr, mj xliC Aivi irgvCtxih xlmw AeC.

    Hints: The key is 4. The plaintext is English and you have to get all upper and lower case
    letters right.

    2. Decrypt this value below through Caesar cipher but through your own key value to find
    the proper English output:

    JQRRG, JQRRG, TGKVGT


    JQRRG, JQRRG, TGKVGT,
    YGPP GT HCGNNV, FCPP UEJTGKV GT.
    HCGNNV GT KP FGP ITCDGP,
    HTGUUGP KJP FKG TCDGP,

    3. Encrypt the following text using the template “Substitution Cipher using a password”:
    Cryptography or cryptology is the practice and study of techniques for secure
    communication in the presence of third parties called adversaries.
    Hint: (Key: password = key123, offset = 5)
    4. Break the following text using the template “Monoalphabetic Substitution Analyzer”:

    MLZZLYR EHQVQHLWT EHLQVRYG MYO Y PO YHRC WHCSFAJHYSIQH MIA HYG FIQ


    HQOQYHWI VLNLOLAG AE FIQ YHRCO OLJGYZ LGFQZZLJQGWQ OQHNLWQ LG FIQ
    FILHFLQO

    5. Decrypt the following text using the “Vigenère Cipher” template:

    LVRLXSF CLZIES KRRBXGU SXU RWX OTCVLRX CX VZEWM ZAOJ RWX BMKEAT HT
    AVCSHBCF

    Key: KRYPTOS

    Hint: You have to change the setting “Action” of the upper Vigenère component from
    “Encrypt” to “Decrypt”.

    6. Encrypt the following text using the “Vigenère Cipher” template:

    BLAISE DE VIGENERE WAS A FRENCH DIPLOMAT, CRYPTOGRAPHER, TRANSLATOR AND


    ALCHEMIST

    Key: POLYALPHABETIC

    7. Break the following text using the “Vigenère Analysis” template:

    AX YRW MYXYDPA ZROSWGTPG YSPC XFSX RFWLSFJW XJVC NCIB LLG VEKDLQ EEIEIMSG
    DAINU

    8. Decrypt the following text using the template “Substitution Cipher using a password”:

    jFYHGRGFGRLM LU HRMTOV OVGGVIH HVKZIZGVOB - HRNKOV HFYHGRGFGRLM - XZM


    YV WVNLMHGIZGVW YB DIRGRMT LFG GSV ZOKSZYVG RM HLNV LIWVI GL IVKIVHVMG

    ZOKSZYVG RM GSV FHFZO LIWVI.

    Key: password = substitution, offset = 7

    Hint: You have to change the setting “Action” of the “Encrypt” substitution component
    from “Encrypt” to “Decrypt”. We change the given template, as this template was written
    to do encryption first. So just ignore the component with the subtitle Decrypt.

    9. Decrypt the following text using the “Transposition Cipher” template:

    ctconsueaeortoegoiccsfsishoreaiayteligscsulrridbinxcgttenxhieteditoepiaitseehosrrattpt
    ptmphlafttittapnhfwitaolaxafnanhooytdrseuityapoytitcuhesotoprninoedrtcehIyotipbnea
    mhttnrssrhhphnyenmp

    Key: transposition

    Hint: You have to change the setting “Action” of the upper transposition component from
    “Encrypt” to “Decrypt”.

    10. Encrypt the following text using the “Transposition Cipher” template:

    againcolumnbycolumnandthecolumnsarechoseninsomescrambledorder

    Key: uppsala
