Project Overview:
 The project will consist of:
 A Python program to encrypt and decrypt messages.
 A simple user interface (command-line) where the user can input a message and choose
to either encrypt or decrypt it using a key (shift value).

Encryption Algorithm - Caesar Cipher:

 Encryption: The plaintext is shifted by a key value. For example, if the key is 3, 'A'
becomes 'D', 'B' becomes 'E', and so on.
 Decryption: The ciphertext is shifted in the opposite direction by the same key to retrieve
the original message.

 CODE(python):
# Caesar Cipher Encryption and Decryption

def encrypt(plaintext, key):

"""Encrypts the plaintext using Caesar Cipher with a given key."""

ciphertext = ''

for char in plaintext:

# Encrypt only alphabets (both uppercase and lowercase)

if char.isalpha():

shift = key % 26 # Ensure key is within the alphabet range

start = ord('A') if char.isupper() else ord('a')

encrypted_char = chr(start + (ord(char) - start + shift) % 26)

ciphertext += encrypted_char

else:
# Non-alphabet characters remain unchanged

ciphertext += char

return ciphertext

def decrypt(ciphertext, key):

"""Decrypts the ciphertext using Caesar Cipher with a given key."""

plaintext = ''

for char in ciphertext:

# Decrypt only alphabets (both uppercase and lowercase)

if char.isalpha():

shift = key % 26 # Ensure key is within the alphabet range

start = ord('A') if char.isupper() else ord('a')

decrypted_char = chr(start + (ord(char) - start - shift) % 26)

plaintext += decrypted_char

else:

# Non-alphabet characters remain unchanged

plaintext += char

return plaintext

def main():

print("Welcome to Caesar Cipher Encryption/Decryption")

while True:

# Menu for the user to choose between encryption or decryption


choice = input("\nChoose an option:\n1. Encrypt a message\n2. Decrypt a message\n3.
Exit\nEnter your choice (1/2/3): ")

if choice == '1':

message = input("\nEnter the message to encrypt: ")

key = int(input("Enter the encryption key (an integer): "))

encrypted_message = encrypt(message, key)

print(f"Encrypted message: {encrypted_message}")

elif choice == '2':

message = input("\nEnter the message to decrypt: ")

key = int(input("Enter the decryption key (an integer): "))

decrypted_message = decrypt(message, key)

print(f"Decrypted message: {decrypted_message}")

elif choice == '3':

print("Exiting the program...")

break

else:

print("Invalid choice, please try again.")

if __name__ == "__main__": main()


How It Works:

 Encrypt Function:

The encrypt() function shifts each letter of the input message by the specified key
(integer). The shift is done modulo 26 to keep the result within the alphabet
range.

Non-alphabet characters (such as spaces, punctuation) remain unchanged.

 Decrypt Function:

The decrypt() function works similarly but shifts the letters back in the opposite
direction to recover the original message.

 Main Program:

The user is presented with a menu to choose between encrypting a message,


decrypting a message, or exiting the program.

Depending on the user's choice, they are prompted to input the message and key
(shift value).
