Substitution Cipher Decryption

Long before the computer came to power, various encryption methods got created so that text messages can be securely sent to the right individuals. A computer gave birth to more, while also making conventional ones easier to understand. As such, Substitution Cipher Decryption comes as a tool with which to decrypt cipher messages.

Before you can see what the application is all about, it’s a good idea to make sure that your computer is fitted with .NET Framework, even though it’s a default feature found in modern Windows iterations. On the bright side of things, the program doesn’t take you through a setup process, letting you use it on the go, directly from a setup process.

As the name clearly points out, the application’s core function is to help you decipher messages encrypted through the Caesar cipher, or similar variations. However, you might notice it’s a bit more than just a simple process of pasting the encrypted text to have it deciphered. Don’t worry though, because it’s not that difficult, even with all attributes to manage.

On the downside, Substitution Cipher Decryption doesn’t include a component with which to secure messages, and is only meant to make encrypted messages readable again. However, some degree of effort might be required to get all variables right in case you don’t know the exact character switch.

Pasting the encrypted text is the first step. A drop-down menu helps you adjust the frequency table, which is the character switch interval. You can then choose to manually assign letters, or have them automatically processed based on the frequency table. Result is delivered in a dedicated section, from which you can copy text to clipboard.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Substitution Cipher Decryption comes with good intentions, but only if you need to decipher texts encrypted with Caesar cipher or similar counterparts. It could have used a simpler approach on decryption or more automation, as well as a method to also encrypt text.
