QuestionEncrypt the word SCORE using a Caesar shift of 23 (A becomes X). What is the encrypted result?
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. We are using an alphabetic Caesar shift cipher with a shift of23.
. The word to be encrypted is "SCORE".
3. The Caesar shift cipher works by shifting the letters of the alphabet by a certain number of places. In this case, A maps to X, B maps to Y, C maps to Z, and so on.
4. The alphabet wraps around, so after Z comes A.
STEP 2
The first step is to write out the alphabet and the shifted alphabet for reference.
STEP 3
Now, we can start encrypting the word "SCORE". The first letter is "". Looking at our shifted alphabet, we see that "" maps to "".
STEP 4
The second letter is "C". Looking at our shifted alphabet, we see that "C" maps to "Z".
STEP 5
The third letter is "". Looking at our shifted alphabet, we see that "" maps to "".
STEP 6
The fourth letter is "R". Looking at our shifted alphabet, we see that "R" maps to "".
STEP 7
The fifth letter is "". Looking at our shifted alphabet, we see that "" maps to "B".
STEP 8
Now, we can put all these letters together to get the encrypted word.
So, the word "SCORE" encrypted using an alphabetic Caesar shift cipher with shift23 is "ZLOB".
