Latin alphabet cipher

0 0 4 minutes read

The Latin Alphabet Cipher Encryption Technique is one of the earliest and simplest techniques of encrypting data. It’s simply a type of substitution cipher technique, i.e., each letter of a given text is substituted by its corresponding number as represented in its alphabetical order. For Example, we have given a string as “hello everyone”, then its Latin Cipher Encryption will be “8 5 12 12 15 5 22 5 18 25 15 14 5”.

Examples:

Input :  zambiatek
Output : Encrypted Code using Latin Alphabet
         7 5 5 11 19 6 15 18 7 5 5 11 19 

Input :  hello everyone
Output : Encrypted Code using Latin Alphabet
         8 5 12 12 15  5 22 5 18 25 15 14 5

Prerequisite : isalpha() and isdigit() functions in C/C++ with example

Below is the program to convert a given string to its Latin Alphabet cipher:

C++

// Latin Alphabet Cipher Encryption header files
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
 
// function for calculating the encryption
void cipher(char str[])
{
    for (int i = 0; str[i] != '\0'; i++) {
        if (isalpha(str[i]) == 0 && str[i] != ' ') {
            printf("Enter only alphabets and space\n");
            return;
        }
    }
 
    printf("Encrypted Code using Latin Alphabet\n");
    for (int i = 0; str[i] != '\0'; i++) {
 
        if (str[i] >= 'A' && str[i] <= 'Z')
            printf("%d ", str[i] - 'A' + 1);
 
        else if (str[i] >= 'a' && str[i] <= 'z')
            printf("%d ", str[i] - 'a' + 1);
        if (str[i] == ' ')
            printf("%c", str[i]);
    }
    printf("\n");
}
 
// driver code
int main()
{
    char str[] = "zambiatek";
    cipher(str);
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java program to demonstrate 
// Latin Alphabet Cipher
 
class LatinCipher 
{
    // function for calculating the encryption
    static void cipher(String str)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++)
        {
            if (!Character.isLetter(str.charAt(i)) &&
            str.charAt(i) != ' ') 
            {
                System.out.println("Enter only alphabets and space");
                return;
            }
        }
 
        System.out.println("Encrypted Code using Latin Alphabet");
        for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++)
        {
            if (str.charAt(i) >= 'A' && str.charAt(i) <= 'Z')
            {
                System.out.print(str.charAt(i) - 'A' + 1 + " ");
            }
            else if (str.charAt(i) >= 'a' && str.charAt(i) <= 'z') 
            {
                System.out.print(str.charAt(i) - 'a' + 1 + " ");
            }
            if (str.charAt(i) == ' ')
                System.out.print(str.charAt(i));
 
        }
        System.out.println();
    }

Time Complexity: O(n), where n is the length of the given string.
Auxiliary Space: O(1), no extra space is required, so it is a constant.
