Answer #1

Key Space for an encryption can be define as all possible ways to encrypt an message.

In Mono-alphabetic substitution, we substitute a single alphabet with any available alphabet in that text but "WITHOUT REPEAT".

Let's firstly solve your doubt with English alphabet so that you can understand easily and can relate with Polish alphabet too.

  • As we know, there are 26 unique alphabet in English text.
  • Alphabet 'A' can be substitute with any alphabet like, A, B, C, D , ......., X, Y, Z. So total key = 26.
  • Now, Alphabet 'B' can again substitute with any alphabet but in "Mono-alphabetic substitution", we can't substitute with that alphabet which were previously used to substitute other alphabet. So, Total Key Space= [26- 1(which was used for A)]= 25.
  • Similarly, for C, key Space will be 26- 2( used for A and B) = 24.
  • similarly for Z, Key Space will be 26-25= 1.
  • So, Key space for whole English text is 26*25*24*.....2*1= 26!

Now, comes to Polish Text. As you said, There are 32 alphabet in Polish text. And total key space for Mono-alphabetic substitution for any text will be equal to factorial of unique alphabet.

Hence key space of mono-alphabetic substitution cipher for Polish text is= 32! ( factorial of 32).

I hope, this solution will help you. If you still have any doubt, you can put you question in Comment Section. I would like to sort them out. THANK YOU!

Vigenère Cipher. In the Vigenère Cipher, we use a special keyword to encrypt a message. We represent each letter of the alphabet as a number from 0-25. In order, we add each letter from the keyword to the message and mod by 26. If the keyword is shorter than the message, we simply repeat the keyword. For example, lets say that the message is HOWSTUFFWORKS and the keyword is CIPHER. The following table shows how we can find the final...

USE C++!!!! Encryption and Decryption are two cryptographic techniques. Encryption is used to transform text to meaningless characters, and decryption is used to transform meaningless characters into meaningful text. The algorithm that does the encryption is called a cipher. A simple encryption algorithm is Caesar cipher, which works as follows: replace each clear text letter by a letter chosen to be n places later in the alphabet. The number of places, n, is called the cipher key. For example, if...
