Each character (like ‘A’) has an associated numeric value (the ASCII value which, for ‘A’ is 65).
Each character (like ‘A’) has an associated numeric value (the ASCII value which, for ‘A’ is 65). This is related
to Step 1 of the encryption algorithm, as explained in the lab:
“Our basic strategy for encrypting data is based on mapping alphabetical characters to specific values”
These specific values are, as also explained in the lab:
“A = a = 0
B = b = 1
…
Z = z = 25″
How might you map the character ‘A’ to the value 0?
