13: LAB: Introduction to Cyptography (classes/constructors)
zyBooks catalog
Cryptography is the practice of encryption. Information Security uses cryptography techniques to encrypt and decrypt data. A simple
encryption method might take plaintext and mix up the letters using some predetermined pattern and then use that pattern to decrypt the
data for reading.
Ciphers are the algorithms used to put the data into its secret pattern and then systematically decrypt it for reading. This script is going to
use a famous simple cipher called the Caesar Cipher. It is a substitution cipher where each letter in the text is 'shifted' in a certain number
of places. It uses the alphabet as the primary pattern and then based on the shift number, it would shift all the letters and replace the
alphabet with our pattern.
For example, if our shift number was 3, then A would be replaced with D, if we performed a right shift. As an example:
Text = "THE CAT IS VISIBLE AT MIDNIGHT" Ciphertext = "WKH FDW LV YLVLEOH DW PLGQLIJKW"
The keys to decrypt this message are the shift number and the direction. The shift value can be any integer from 0-25. The above example
uses shift 3 and the shift direction is right or direction = 'r'
Complete the CipherTest class by adding a constructor to initialize a cipher item. The constructor should initialize the shift to 0, and the
direction to 'r' for right shift. If the constructor is called with a shift value, and direction, the constructor should assign each instance
attribute with the appropriate parameter value.
Complete the following TODO's: (1) create input for text, shift value, and direction (use lower()) to keep I and r lower case (2) create a cipher
item and use the constructor with the above input values (3) use control structures to call shifttonight) if direction is right and call shifttoleft
if direction is left. Make sure you print out the return encrypted message inside the control structures
We can create the encrypted text by using the ord () function. This function will return an integer that represents the Unicode code point of
the character. Character are represented by different values for upp/er and lower case so an 'a' returns the integer 97. By using the unicode
value we can add and subtract our shift value represented by an integer.
The given program accepts as input a text string as our message to be encrypted, a shift value, and a direction of T for left and 'r' for right.
The program creates a cipher item using the input values. The program outputs the encrypted message based on the shift value and the
direction provided.
Ex: If the input is text="Cryptography is fun!", shift 4, and direction = 1.
