Caesar Cipher

Description: In this project, we have to make code to encrypt and decrypt messages with Ceasar Cipher. Our goal is to solve the mystery of Ms. Tran's cow.

Procedure: We watched a video on Caesar Cipher with the class and Ms. Tran helped us write code to encyrpt and decrypt with Caesar Cipher. We get clues from her on the day of the project and we have to decrypt them with our code.

Step 1: We got clue 1 from Schoology, and we put it in the regular decrypt. This was the clue: "Vb. Cajw oxdwm jw xynw pjcn. Bqn rb yjwrltrwp knljdbn qna lxf qjb pxwn vrbbrwp!"

Step 2: We emailed our decrypted code to Ms. Tran, and she sent us clue 2 which was: "Tcwn uckf jg ucy vjg eqy jcpikpi qwv ykvj LJ mkfu kp vjg Ewg Swcf gcvkpi okpv ecpfa." We put in the normal decrypter again. 

Step 3: We emailed our decrypted code to Ms. Tran, and she sent us clue 3 which was: "Tz. Ayhu yljhssz zllpun Tz. Rpun huk Tz. Zhujolg lhapun aol zhtl tpua jhukf." We put in the normal decrypter again. 

Step 4: We emailed our decrypted code to Ms. Tran, and she sent us clue 4 which was: "Awumwvm nwcvl i kivlg ezixxmz eqbp “Kitt um” ezqbbmv vmfb bw i vcujmz: 650806…." We put in the normal decrypter again. 

Step 5: We emailed our decrypted code to Ms. Tran, and she sent us clue 5 which was: "Zme cuf swbjs cgwfpmy aa sdeo gx goa fv. So otn zbuqe iz. Pb batkkm aw Rs. Yjpjpke’a uohpkk tw mnv pox nabxtpbk svait." For this clue, it wasn't a single number key, so we had to put it in decrypt(10) which allowed multi-digit keys. We used the phone number from clue 4, 650806, and we found out we were close but it wasnt enough, so we brute forced it until we found the last 4 numbers, 9278, and added them to the first few numbers, making the key 6508069278.

Step 6: We emailed our decrypted code to Ms. Tran, and she asked us how we got it, and when we told her, she gave us White Rabbit Milk candy! We didnt get candy from the office because we didnt finish first.

SOUL Reflection:

S- Strength: A strength I had in this project was that I had my code ready, and for the first clues I was easily able to put clues 1-4 easily.

O- Opportunities: An opportunity I had to improve my project was that I couldve found out the last 4 numbers on my own instead of brute forcing it.

U- Understanding: This project expanded my knowledge on Python and Caesar Ciphers.

L- Limitations: A limitation I had on this project was that I had to brute force the last clue which took a while to do.

WISCR Reflection:

W- Well Rounded: I learned how to do Python and and it will help me a lot in the future.

C- Clear Communicators: I communicated with my partner Lealah a lot to do this project.
