C/C++ :: Vigenere Cipher Not Decoding
Mar 11, 2015
I was assigned to make a vigenere cipher using the function void vegenere(char* to_encrypt, char* key, char* encrypted) I got it to work for the encryption but i have to be able to decrypt the phrase too. I was assigned to write in a flag which indicated encryption or decryption. I tried to implement this but now it wont decrypt and i dont know why, all it does is put the same copy of decryption (which is really encrypted) multiple times until it crashes.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <ctype.h>
void decrypt(char *to_encrypt, char *key);
enum flag{encryption = 1, decryption = -1};
[Code] ....
Ok i found my dumb error of putting decrypt on an infinite loop which i fixed by putting it into the if statement after the encryption output. However now it says that the encrypted and decrypted outputs are identical without decrypting the ciphertext

I'm new to C++ and involving encoding and decoding text from text files. When I enter a file in the program just stalls.
#include <iostream >
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
#include <cstring>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
char getmenuselection (char m);
{Code] .....

I'm having some problems in receiving fileNames from Server to Client(C++) in Mac OS X. I send a serialized object , which has a char pointer with the fileName or sometimes a string object, when i receive it in the client, it seems to be having %F6 or %E9 ,etc . This issue don't arise in Windows OS though, even thought it's the same code. Is there anyway decoding these '%' characters back to their original form in Mac OS & Linux ..?
Fex characters i got into problems with : ǡ ȅ ȉ
It would be difficult to change the code in server, so if there's a way decoding the characters back to its original form, it would be easier.I'm using Boost Library for Serialization and i'm just looking for ways to decode %F6 back to ȅ in C++, like if some library is available ..?

I am making a simple caesar cypher with a 2D array. I have to make a function for the key shift so
key=5
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
FGHJKL...ABCDE
Function Name: Key_Array
This function uses the random key value to make a key array
Passed: value = random key value
Returns: alphabet = rearranged alphabet
[Code] .....
I am having trouble outputting the rearranged alphabet to the screen also.

I currently am stuck at getting the needed outcome data from my RFID card. I got it decoded but now I need to do a few more things in order to get the final card number off the back of the card.
The cryptic value was E********B**0**E** (covered to protect card)
Decrypting it turned into 0000003048D1263B
Now I have 3 more steps to take in order to get to my wanted card number.
Quote
Step 1) Mask off the lower 20-bits (which should give me 0x1263B) I am unsure of how to go about doing that using C++.

I receive messages over a bus. Suppose there is a function to read the messages storing them into a struct defined as follows:
typedef struct
{
ULONG timestamp;
BYTE ID;
BYTE data_length;
BYTE data[8];
} MSG_FRAME;
Depending on the message ID different messages represent different values for one project.For example msg with ID 10 can include in the 8 bytes something like:
width: 6 bits
height: 6 bits
actpos: 12 bits
maxpos: 12 bits
minpos: 12 bits
range: 16 bits
total: 64 bits = 8 bytes
Printing the message is no big deal. But here comes the tricky part. I want to print out the specific information hidden in the 8 bytes. I can define the structures for every msg ID and compile the program with this "special" header file, but I want to do it during runtime of the program, loading the information regarding the msgs, because i can have different projects where the information for different msg IDs can differ.
I've a non-C file, where basically all the information is written. Lets stay frame named
GetStatus{
bit 0 - 7 width
bit 8 - 15 height
.
.
}
etc.
How to read it on runtime and decode the messages? On runtime I'm not able to create variables and structures anymore!

So I am trying to make a simple cipher but can't see a pattern between the letters.
Convert:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
To:
E I L Q A G F R B N T C P J Z M D H X K Y W V S U O

I get the error of not declaring "text" "exit" but I how do I declared those variables, even if they cause problem to file... How can I output the decipher file in a new text...?
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <fstream>
#include <math.h>
[Code] ....

I have managed to print out the encrypted text from the console, however it doesnt decrypt correctly and isn't returning the correct key. I can't seem to find the error that is causing the decrypted text from printing correctly. When I try to decrypt the text it changes it completely as well.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include "rotUtils.h"
bool solved( char decodearr[], char dictarr[][30], int size1, int size2){
char* compared;
bool result = false;
for(int j = 0; j < size2; j++){

I am writing a porgram which includes encoding and decoding a message.Now I am doing the encoding part.
The goal is to encode a message using similar approach as Caesar Cipher. But instead of alphabets, I am going to use the entire ASCII code of total 128 codes to be the base.
And it is not a simple shifting, it is a rotation. This means if you want to shift 4 units from char <DEL>, it will come back to the first code in ASCII Code which is at dec 0 char <NUL> and starts the shifting again. It won't jump if the limit of ASCII Code is reached.
Here we've got 7 different malls' names and I am going to encode them with a shift n. I think n is free to set, so here I just set it as 5. This is also called the key.
I have written something and I think it should work, but after all it doesn't. And I don't get what is wrong.
Here is my program:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
const int NUMBER_OF_MALLS = 7;
const int MALL_NAME_LENGTH = 13;
const int NAME_SIZE = MALL_NAME_LENGTH + 1;
void encode(int key, char plain[], int length, char encoded[]) {
for (int i = 0; i < MALL_NAME_LENGTH; i++)
[code].....
Note that I am not going to use other libraries, just <iostream>.

Step 1) Mask off the lower 20-bits (which should give me 0x1263B) I am unsure of how to go about doing that using C++.
Step 2) Divide by 2 to strip off the lower parity bit (which should be 0x931d). And again, I'm unsure of how to go about doing this in C++.
Step 3) Convert hexadecimal value to decimal value (which would equal my wanted card number). This should be easily done using C++ at this point - though hard to confirm that since I am on step 1).
Code:
const char* original = "0x931d";
unsigned long n = std::strtoul(original, nullptr, 16);
All of this looks to me like RegEX does to most people - complicated and not understanding why it does what it does but gives the correct output.

I finished my Enigma cipher simulator...how should I write the error handling code? Should I throw an exception in main, or in the Enigma ctor and Encrypt() fn when the user enters a non-alphanumeric character?
Rotor.hpp
Code:
#ifndef ROTOR_HPP
#define ROTOR_HPP
class Rotor {
public:
Rotor(char pos='A');
Rotor(const Rotor & rhs);
Rotor& operator=(const Rotor& rhs);
[Code] ....
Output
Code:
Enter rotor settings:
ABCDEFGHIJ
Enter cleartext:
HELLO WORLD
Ciphertext:
0O258 SGY5V

I am struggling to write a code about caesar cipher shift and using ascii code with it. For example letter b should be replaced with the letter c and using the ascii code it should be from 98 to 99 and so on..

The assignment is to open an encrypted file, count the occurrence of each alphabetic character in the file. find the highest occurring letter and use that to find the shift, then apply the sift to the file in order to decipher and then print out the deciphered txt.
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main(){
string word;
ifstream txt;
int arr[26] = { 0 };
[Code] ....
