Ciphers

Finals Term project for ITC C202 - Data Structures and Algorithms

Included Ciphers:

• Caesar Cipher - CaesarChiper.java
• Playfair Cipher - PlayfairCipher.java
• Polybius Square Cipher - PolybiusSquareCipher.java
• Positionally Shifted Cipher (our own custom encryption algorithm) - PositionallyShiftedCipher.java

Running

If you have IntelliJ IDEA, then simply download this whole repo as a zip file, unzip it to a folder, then import that folder as a project

If you prefer using the terminal to compile, do the following:

1. Download the repo as a zip file, then unzip it to a folder
2. Open cmd or Terminal, then navigate to the folder you created and then to the src/ folder where the .java files are located
3. Run the following command javac Ciphers.java. This will compile not just the main class, but also all the other cipher classes automatically.
4. Run the program by using the command java Ciphers.

Note

Everything is messy because I do not know what I am doing 75% of the time.
