SUBSTITUTION CIPHER

Introduction:
In cryptography, a substitution cipher is a method of encryption
by which units of plaintext are replaced with cipher text according
to a regular system; the "units" may be single letters (the most
common), pairs of letters, triplets of letters, mixtures of the
above, and so forth. The receiver deciphers the text by
performing an inverse substitution

There are a number of different types of substitution cipher. If the

cipher operates on single letters, it is termed a simple substitution
cipher; a cipher that operates on larger groups of letters is
termed polygraphic.

Substitution over a single letter—simple substitution—can be

demonstrated by writing out the alphabet in some order to
represent the substitution. This is termed a substitution alphabet.
The cipher alphabet may be shifted or reversed (creating the
Caesar and Atbash ciphers, respectively) or scrambled in a more
complex fashion, in which case it is called a mixed alphabet or
deranged alphabet.
HOW TO CONDUCT THE EXPERIMENT:
Click on Presentation Layer on the Main Window and Then Select
“SUBSTITUTION CIPHER” Module from the Modules displayed in
the centre of the window.

SUBSTITUTION CIPHER Window will open up as shown in

SNAPSHOT-1.

SNAPSHOT-1

TRANSMITTER:

1. Enter the “IP Address” of the computer to which you intend

to send data.
 2. Enter the Key for Encryption. The key value is between 1 and
26.

3. Enter the Data that needs to be encrypted in the “TEXT”

textbox.

4. Click on “ENCRYPT” button to encrypt the data.

The table displays the entire Substitution Cipher Table as

shown in SNAPSHOT-2.

The Encrypted Data is shown in the “ENCRYTED TEXT”

textbox.

5. Click on the “SEND” button to send the encrypted Data to

the destination IP.

SNAPSHOT-2
Use Loop back Address “127.0.0.1” to send the Data to the same
computer.

RECEIVER:

In the Receiver Window, the Encrypted Data is displayed in the

“ENCRYTED TEXT” text box as soon as the data is received as
shown in SNAPSHOT-3.
SNAPSHOT-3

1. Enter the Key value same as entered on the server in the

“KEY” textbox.

2. Click on “DECRYPT” button to decrypt the data. The

Decrypted data is shown in the “TEXT” textbox on the
receiver as shown in SNAPSHOT-4

And the Subsitution Cipher Table is shown in the table at the

bottom of the Receiver Window.

Transmitter and Receiver Messages are Displayed in the

“Message Window” on the extreme right.

Reset Button:

Click On “RESET BUTTON” to reset all the controls to initial values.

Click on “HELP BUTTON” to Open SUBSTITUTION CIPHER Manual.

Click on “EXIT BUTTON” To Close SUBSTITUTION CIPHER Window.
