One failing of an encryption system occurs if a letter (or number) always encodes to the same value. Let’s see how we can exploit these weaknesses. Let’s assume that we know that the word SECRET is in an intercepted message. What are the encrypted values (i.e., give the mappings) of the letters S, E, R, C, T (i.e., S -> ?, E -> C, R -> ?, C -> ?, and T -> ?) for the following encrypted message: MHIL75K7MTF7LL397V...

The Hawaiian alphabet has twelve letters: five vowels (a, e, i, o, and u) and seven consonants (h, k, l, m, n, p, and w). For the purpose of this exercise we will define an n–letter “word” as an ordered collection of n of these twelve letters with repeats allowed. Obviously, most such “words” will be nonsense words. What is the probability a randomly selected four–letter “word” contains exactly one consonant?
