1. Alberti Cipher encoder

Text : ABCD efgi
STABILIS : abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
MOBILIS : abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
InitialShift : 1
Increment : 2
Period : 3


Solution:
The Alberti cipher is a polyalphabetic substitution cipher that uses two concentric, rotating disks to enctrypt the message.

STABILISabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
MOBILISabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

Initial Shift = 1, So the MOBILIS disk is rotated by 1 letters
Now Alphabets are aligned like
Number012345678910111213141516171819202122232425
STABILISabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
MOBILISbcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyza

Period is 3, So Split text into pairs of 3-letters
abc def gi

a is at STABILIS-0 `=>` MOBILIS-0 is b

b is at STABILIS-1 `=>` MOBILIS-1 is c

c is at STABILIS-2 `=>` MOBILIS-2 is d

The MOBILIS disk is rotated by 2 letters
Now Alphabets are aligned like
Number012345678910111213141516171819202122232425
STABILISabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
MOBILISdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabc

d is at STABILIS-3 `=>` MOBILIS-3 is g

e is at STABILIS-4 `=>` MOBILIS-4 is h

f is at STABILIS-5 `=>` MOBILIS-5 is i

The MOBILIS disk is rotated by 2 letters
Now Alphabets are aligned like
Number012345678910111213141516171819202122232425
STABILISabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
MOBILISfghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcde

g is at STABILIS-6 `=>` MOBILIS-6 is l

i is at STABILIS-8 `=>` MOBILIS-8 is n

Plaintext : abcdefgi
Ciphertext : bcdghiln

2. Alberti Cipher encoder

Text : hello world
STABILIS : abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
MOBILIS : abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
InitialShift : 1
Increment : 2
Period : 3

Number012345678910111213141516171819202122232425
STABILISabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
MOBILISbcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyza

Period is 3, So Split text into pairs of 3-letters
hel low orl d

h is at STABILIS-7 `=>` MOBILIS-7 is i

e is at STABILIS-4 `=>` MOBILIS-4 is f

l is at STABILIS-11 `=>` MOBILIS-11 is m

The MOBILIS disk is rotated by 2 letters
Now Alphabets are aligned like
Number012345678910111213141516171819202122232425
STABILISabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

o is at STABILIS-14 `=>` MOBILIS-14 is r

w is at STABILIS-22 `=>` MOBILIS-22 is z

The MOBILIS disk is rotated by 2 letters
Now Alphabets are aligned like
Number012345678910111213141516171819202122232425

r is at STABILIS-17 `=>` MOBILIS-17 is w

l is at STABILIS-11 `=>` MOBILIS-11 is q

The MOBILIS disk is rotated by 2 letters
Now Alphabets are aligned like
Number012345678910111213141516171819202122232425
STABILISabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
MOBILIShijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefg

d is at STABILIS-3 `=>` MOBILIS-3 is k
