1. Beaufort Cipher encoder

Text : ABCD efghi
Key : bcd
Alphabet : abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Mode : Key-Text


Solution:
The Beaufort cipher is a polyalphabetic substitution cipher, where the plaintext is subtracted from the keyword to encrypt a message

Alphabet = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

Letterabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
