Caesar Cipher • It is a Substitution Cipher that involves replacing each letter of the secret message with a different letter of the alphabet which is a fixed number of positions further in the alphabet. Example In this example, each letter in the plaintext message has been shifted 3 letters down in the alphabet. Plaintext: This is a secret message Ciphertext: wklv lv d vhfuhw phvvdjh

Caesar Cipher Decipher: Mx mw rsx tpeywmfpi No. of shifts: 4 Ans: It is not plausible

Atbash Cipher • The Atbash cipher is a very specific case of a substitution cipher where the letters of the alphabet are reversed. In otherwords, all As are replaced with Zs, all Bs are replaced with Ys, and so on. • Because reversing the alphabet twice will get you actual alphabet, you can encipher and decipher a message using the exact same algorithm.

Atbash Cipher • Decipher this: Ziv Blf Irtsg Ans: Are You Right

Pigpen Cipher The pigpen cipher is a simple substitution cipher exchanging letters for symbols based on a grid.

Pigpen Cipher • Example

Pigpen Cipher DECODE THIS

Pigpen Cipher ANS: THIS CIPHER WAS ONCE USED BY FREEMASONS

Round 4 Rules 1) The team having highest score will challenge 1 team they want. 2) If that team answers correctly that team gets +100 and the team who gave the challenge gets -100. 3) If that team cannot answer it correctly it gets -50 and the team who gave challenge gets +50. 4) Time : 1 min 5) No passing.

ASCII Cipher • Decipher: 73 32 104 65 118 69 32 50 32 119 73 110 32 84 104 73 115 32 97 116 32 65 78 89 32 67 111 83 116 Answer: I h. Av. E 2 w. In Th. Is at ANY Co. St

Tap Code Each letter was communicated by tapping two numbers. The first designated the horizontal row and the second designated the vertical row. The letter "X" was used to break up sentences and the letter "C" replaced the letter "K". For "WATER" the code would be the following. . . . 1 2 3 4 5 1 A B C D E 2 F G H I J 3 L M N O P 4 Q R S T U 5 V W X Y Z Now Decode. . . . . /. . . . .

Tap Code Now Decode. . . . . /. . . . . Answer: Let us see who does it first 1 2 3 4 5 1 A B C D E 2 F G H I J 3 L M N O P 4 Q R S T U 5 V W X Y Z

Rail Fence Cipher • In the rail fence cipher, the plaintext is written downwards on successive "rails" of an imaginary fence, starting a new column when the bottom is reached. The message is then read off in rows. For example, if we have 3 rails and a message of "This is a secret message", you would write out: TSACTSG HISRMSE I SEEEAJ • • The last J is just a random letter to fill in the space. The secret message is then condensed and regrouped. TSACT SGHIS RMSEI SEEEA JGURL

Rail Fence Cipher Decode (No. of Rails=3) AIIHE MSEIE INCOS EAEUO NLGCT NTRLA RFTLE E Ans: Action is the real measure of intelligence

Morse Code • Morse code is a method for transmitting information, using standardized sequences of short and long marks or pulses - commonly known as "dots" and "dashes" - for the letters, numerals, punctuation and special characters of a message. Example: ‘Winners’ is encoded as follows: . --. . -. -. . . .

Morse Code Decode: . . . - . - -. -- . . . - -. --. . -. --. . -. -- . . -. ---. -. . . Ans: stay hungry why foolish

Anagram This is the anagram of a famous quote: Notified madman into water Ans: Time and tide wait for no man

Face-Off Rules 1) Each team will have 5 mins to encrypt MESSAGE of their choice using CAESAR CIPHER 2) The message encrypted should be legible and meaningful. Which means it can’t be random words. The message must be a sentence or phrase. 3) The team to correctly decipher the code first wins. 4) If wrongly decoded the team loses. 5) The No. of shifts should be from 1 -5. 6) The encoding team will not inform the opposite team about the number of shifts. 7) But the judges will be told before the encryption begins
