Question

Case Project 3-2:

Compare Cipher Tools There are a variety of online cipher tools that demonstrate different cryptographic algorithms. Visit the website Cipher Tools (rumkin.com/tools/cipher/) and explore the different tools. Select three tools, one of which is mentioned in this chapter (ROT13, OneTime Pad, etc.). Experiment with the three different tools. Which is easy to use? Which is more difficult? Which tool would you justify to be more secure than the others? Why? Write a onepage paper on your analysis of the tools

Explanation / Answer

Answer)

The 3 cipher tools are as follows:

Caesar Cipher : This is a kind of shift cipher which is easy and famous but can be easily broken.

Cryptogram solver : It is a simple letter substitution cipher

ROT13 : This helps to rotate the letters to 13 forwarded letters.

ROT13 is an easy cipher and is stronger than the otehr 3 ciphers.

The cryptogram solver is difficult to be used.

Hope this answer helps. Happy to help. :)
