1.0 Introduction
CryptoAnalyzer, CRY, is a program to aid the user in the solving of
cryptograms. Not only is CRY an aid but it will also allow the user to
easily create their own cryptograms. This version of the program will aid
the user in solving substitution and railfence type cryptograms but future
release of the program will contain additional methods. There are many
features to CryptoAnalyzer the following lists a few:
1) Text entered under one option will be carried over to another.
This way the user will not have to re-enter data when going
from one method to another.
2) Text listed in the lower window, when the F1 key has been
pressed, can be dump to a user defined file.
3) The simple substitution helper will save the user a lot of
erasers and rubbed out paper when this type of cryptogram
is being solved.
The following display will be presented to the user when CRY is
executed.

4.1 Substitution Helper
Choosing this option from the main menu will aid the user in solving
substitution cryptograms. Upon selection the following will be presented to
the user:

At this point, the user enter in the cipher text that is to be
deciphered. Once all of the text has been entered, press the F10 function
key to stop the editing process and enter the substitution helper. The
following will be displayed:
NOTE
Plain or cipher text entered on one screen will be retained and be

+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
This window will be all that is needed to solve a cryptogram that uses
simple substitution. The window contains a number of fields that will aid
the user in solving a cryptogram.
1) The top part of the window contains the mapping from cipher text to
plain text.
2) The bottom of the window will contain a frequency count of each
letter in the cryptogram. This may aid the user in determining the
more frequent letters used in the english language.
3) Just under the cipher text will be where the plain text will be
displayed. At first, the plain text will be displayed as '-'. As
a cipher letter is mapped to a plain letter the mapping will be
displayed.
4) At the top right will be the user's input fields that are used to
enter a cipher letter and a plain text letter. When these two
fields are filled in, a mapping from cipher to plain text will be
performed and the various portions of the window will be updated
to reflect the users input. The following are a few examples that
may be entered:
- 6 -
Cipher Letter: A
Plain Letter: B
In this example the program will map the letter "A" to the letter "B".
In the plain text area the letter "B" will be displayed corresponding to the
letter "A" that is in the cipher text area. The cipher to plain mapping at
the top of the window will be updated to reflect the input.
Cipher Letter: A
Plain Letter: -
In this example the program will erase the mapping of the letter "A" to
the letter "B". This will be reflected in the cipher to plain text mapping
and also in the plain text area.
4.2 Substitution
Choosing this option from the main menu will aid the user in enciphering
and deciphering substitution cryptograms. Upon selection the following will
be presented to the user:

The user can choose their own substitution letter by letter. First a
plain text letter and then a cipher letter. As the letters are entered, the
mapping will be displayed above the user entry fields. Once all of the
letters have been mapped, choosing the "Process" option, F1, the ciphered
text will be generated and displayed.
After the F1 key has been pressed and the cryptogram created, the F9
function key can be used to dump the text to a file. The user will be given
the chance to choose their own output file or the default 'crypto.txt' can be
used. Once the file name has been chosen pressing the enter will cause the
file to be created in the current directory. Pressing the 'ESC' key will
cancel the file output option.
4.2.2 Encipher with Keyword
Choosing the "Encipher with Keyword" option from the substitution menu
will aid the user in enciphering substitution cryptograms. The user will be
presented with a window in which to enter the plain text. Once the plain
text has been entered and the F10 key pressed, the user is ready to create
the cipher text. The following will be displayed for the user:
+-----------------CryptoAnalyzer V1.0 by William Ned Miller---------------+
| |
| Shift: _ |
| Enter Plain Text Keyword: |
| +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
| |Now is the time | |

| |
| |
| |
| |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|F1=Process F2=Shift F3=Keyword F10=Exit|
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- 10 -
Enciphering a substitution with this option requires the user to enter
a keyword and a shift value. If no keyword or shift values are provided then
the ciphered text will be the same as the plain text.
1) Keyword - Pressing the F3 function key will place the cursor on this
field. The key must contain the letters "A-Z". This is
usually a common word.
2) Shift - Pressing the F2 function key will place the cursor on this
field. This is an integer value between 0 and 26. This
indicate how much to shift the keyword and the rest of
the alphabet to create the cipher map. A value of zero
indicates that the alphabet is NOT to be shifted.
The following is a few examples using a keyword and a shift value:
1) Keyword = MILLER
Shift = 0
Plain =ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
Cipher=MILERABCDFGHJKNOPQSTUVWXYZ
In this example not much substitution will take place just where the
keyword is enter into the equation. The shift value of '0' did not
cause a shift in the cipher alphabet.
2) Keyword = MILLER
Shift = 25
Plain =ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
Cipher=ZMILERABCDFGHJKNOPQSTUVWXY
In this example 25 out of 26 letter letters were substituted. The
letter "e" happens to map back to the letter "e". If the shift had
been another value no letter would map back onto itself. Notice how
the second 'L' in 'MILLER' has been remove from the keyword.
Once the cipher alphabet has been created, pressing the F1 function key
will create the cryptogram from this alphabet. It will be display in the
lower half of the window.
4.2.3 Decipher with Keyword
Choosing the "Decipher with Keyword" option from the substitution menu
will aid the user in deciphering substitution cryptograms. The user will be
presented with a window in which to enter the cipher text. Once the cipher
text has been entered and the F10 key pressed, the user is ready to recreate
the plain text. The procedures to recreate the plain text are the same as
described in the previous section. Remember the user must know the keyword
and shift value in order for the plain text to be reconstructed. If these
values are not known then using the "substitution helper" will aid in the
reconstruction.

4.3 Railfence
Choosing this option from the main menu will aid the user in enciphering
and deciphering railfence cryptograms. Upon selection, the following will be
presented to the user:
