9. Bacon Cipher (encoder / decoder) example ( Enter your problem )

1. Examples





1. Bacon Cipher encoder

Text : ABCD efghi
Letter 1 : a
Letter 2 : b
Alphabet : 24 letter (I=J & U=V have same ciphertext)


Solution:
Bacon cipher is a cipher, where each letter of plaintext is replaced by unique group of 5 symbols taken from two-alphabets (ab)

Baconian encryption uses the substitution table
