23. Multiplicative Cipher / Decimation Cipher (encoder / decoder) example ( Enter your problem )

1. Examples





1. Multiplicative Cipher / Decimation Cipher encoder

Text : ABCD efghi
Multiplication Key : 3
Alphabet : abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz


Solution:
A multiplicative cipher encrypts a message by multiplying each letter's numerical value (0-25) by a fixed key (which is coprime to 26) and the corresponding letter is substituted.

Alphabet = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

Letterabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Number
