1. Examples





1. Gronsfeld Cipher encoder

Text : ABCD efghi
Digital Key : 123
Alphabet : abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz


Solution:
The Gronsfeld cipher is a polyalphabetic substitution cipher that uses a repeating digit key instead of letters

Alphabet = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

Letterabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Number012345678910111213141516171819202122232425

Each letter is shifted down based on the key letter
