Here is my implementation of a Monoalphabetic Cipher written with a python dictionary:
monoalpha = {
'a': 'm',
'b': 'n',
'c': 'b',
'd': 'v',
'e': 'c',
'f': 'x',
'g': 'z',
'h': 'a',
'i': 's',
'j': 'd',
'k': 'f',
'l': 'g',
'm': 'h',
'n': 'j',
'o': 'k',
'p': 'l',
'q': 'p',
'r': 'o',
's': 'i',
't': 'u',
'u': 'y',
'v': 't',
'w': 'r',
'x': 'e',
'y': 'w',
'z': 'q',
' ': ' ',
}
inverse_monoalpha = {}
for key, value in monoalpha.iteritems():
inverse_monoalpha[value] = key
message = "This is an easy problem"
encrypted_message = []
for letter in message:
encrypted_message.append( monoalpha[letter.lower()] )
print ''.join( encrypted_message )
uasi si mj cmiw lokngch
Now we may use the inverse cipher to decrypt a message, “rmij’u uamu xyj”
encrypted_message = "rmij'u uamu xyj"
decrypted_message = []
for letter in encrypted_message:
try:
decrypted_message.append( inverse_monoalpha[letter] )
except KeyError:
decrypted_message.append( letter )
print ''.join( decrypted_message )
wasn't that fun
