Assignment1 - LAB

The document is an assignment sheet for a course on information security. It includes instructions for a lab assignment involving the Caesar cipher algorithm. Students are asked to [1] write a Java program to encrypt strings using the Caesar cipher, [2] encrypt the plaintext "Encryption" with a key of 3 as an example, and [3] modify the program to also support decryption of ciphertexts back to the original plaintext using the same key. The document provides the code for an encryption-only Caesar cipher program as a starting point for students to build on for the assignment.

Classic Ciphers: Substitution Encryption with


Caesar Cipher
Page 1 of 4
1- Write the following program that allows the encryption using Caesar cipher.
import java.util.Scanner;

public class CaesarCipher {


public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter the plaintext: ");
String plaintext = scanner.nextLine();
System.out.print("Enter the key (shift value): ");
int key = scanner.nextInt();
scanner.close();

String ciphertext = encrypt(plaintext, key);


System.out.println("Ciphertext: " + ciphertext);
}

public static String encrypt(String plaintext, int key) {


StringBuilder ciphertext = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < plaintext.length(); i++) {
char ch = plaintext.charAt(i);
if (Character.isLetter(ch)) {
if (Character.isUpperCase(ch)) {
ch = (char) ((ch + key - 'A') % 26 + 'A');
} else {
ch = (char) ((ch + key - 'a') % 26 + 'a');
}
}
ciphertext.append(ch);
}
return ciphertext.toString();
}
}

2- Encrypt the plaintext 'Encryption' using the Caesar cipher with a key value of 3.

3- Modify the previous program to enable the decryption of the last ciphertext using the same key
value. Ensure that the program can correctly ensure the decryption using the Caesar cipher
algorithm.
