Question

Decrypt the following messages encrypted using the caesar cipher: ()=( 3) mod 26 alphabet: a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z (a) fudcb kdwv (b) gr qrw sdvv jr

Answer 1

To decrypt the messages encrypted using the Caesar cipher, you need to shift each letter in the message back by the given number of positions in the alphabet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To decrypt the messages encrypted using the Caesar cipher, you need to shift each letter in the message back by the given number of positions in the alphabet. In this case, the given shift is 3. So, to decrypt (a) 'fudcb kdwv', you shift each letter back by 3 positions: 'crazy hack'. And to decrypt (b) 'gr qrw sdvv jr', you shift each letter back by 3 positions: 'do not pass go'.

In summary, (a) 'fudcb kdwv' decrypts to 'crazy hack' and (b) 'gr qrw sdvv jr' decrypts to 'do not pass go'.
