decrypt the ciphertext xyatqyvaxpagjdpglax encrypted by the affine cipher. also explain is there alphabets which will not change after ecnryption
Here this table shows the ciphertext letter for each of the plaintext letter that is given in alphabetic order. Here we have to perform (5x+8)mod 26 to find the ciphertext of the given plain text letter,where x is the number given for each of the plaintext letter and that is given in alphabetic order starting from 0, so A has 0 value and Z has value 25. Then perform (5X+8)mod26 to find a number and then write the letter that is represented by that number.Then we get the ciphertext.
Herer ciphertext is xyatqyvaxpagjdpglax
corresponding plaintext after referring table is dyoxmynodrokvzrklod
here if we look at this plaintext we can see that for the ciphertext letters y and l we are getting the same letters to represent plain text.
