Create your own cipher. Use this cipher to write me a short message. A few hints: Keep the cipher simple. I don't want to take more than 5 minutes deciphering a message. If it takes me too long to decipher, I will move on to the next submission. Also, keep the message short. Again, if it takes too long, I will move on. Submit your key as well as your coded message. Without the key, I cannot figure you the message. Also, in a paragraph, explain why this technique is important. I realize that we are oversimplifying this, but the idea is there. Example of a message and key: UIJT DMBTT JT GVO! Key = -1 (meaning go down one letter - example: Z=Y or B=A) Did you solve my message? What is it? Use of AI is strictly prohibited. If caught you will receive a “0” for that assignment. Remember to use APA formatting when submitting. Make sure the paper is in either .doc or .pdf format. If I cannot open it, I cannot grade it.
