Question

Encrypt the word WHOLE using an alphabetic Caesar shift cipher

with shift 11 (mapping A to L). Alphabetic means we're only using
the characters ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

Answer 1

The word 'WHOLE' encrypted with a Caesar shift cipher and a shift of 11 becomes 'HSZWP'.

Step-by-step explanation:

To encrypt the word WHOLE using an alphabetic Caesar shift cipher with a shift of 11, we map each letter of the alphabet so that A becomes L. Here's how it works:

• W -> H (Shift W by 11 positions forward in the alphabet)
• H -> S (Shift H by 11 positions forward in the alphabet)
• O -> Z (Shift O by 11 positions forward in the alphabet)
• L -> W (Shift L by 11 positions forward in the alphabet)
• E -> P (Shift E by 11 positions forward in the alphabet)

Therefore, after applying the Caesar shift cipher, the encrypted word for WHOLE would be HSZWP.
