message was intended for can read it. The art of cryptography has been used to code
messages for thousands of years and continues to be used in bank cards, computer 1

Cryptography. In a certain algorithm, if “EBSIDS” is the secret code for 2
“FATHER”, then answer the following questions.

i. Code “CANADA”.
ii. Code “BHARAT”.
