Description
In this homework, you are going to implement a program which encrypts, or decrypts a given message. The message contains only English letters and they are all in lowercase.
Function: void menu()
This is a menu function. User enters a choice to execute corresponding sub-program. When 0 is chosen, the program stops. Whenever a sub-program is finished, your program goes back to menu so that user can execute another sub-program. You are going to use do-while loop and switch case to implement this function. The user will have three different choices, i.e., {1, 2, or 0}. Any other input will be invalid, and program must display menu again when a wrong input is entered.
Sample output if this function is:
-
Encrypt
-
Decrypt
-
Exit Choice:
Function: void encrypt_open_msg()
This function reads content of open_msg.txt file, encrypts it, shows encrypted message on screen and then writes to secret_msg.txt file. In encryption, function asks for a key value that is actually a positive integer between 1 and 26 at the beginning. Then, it reads a line of the message, reverses the line, and replaces each character of the line by a corresponding letter in reverse direction. For instance, assume that the key is 5 and line is one word that is “gebze”. Reverse of “gebze” is “ezbeg”. “ezbeg” becomes “zuwzb” when function replaces each character by 5 in reverse direction (e->z, z->u, b->w, e->z, g->b).
Sample input of the function (content of open_msg.txt):
gebze technical university.
Sample output of the function:
Key: 5
*zuwzb_ozxcidxvg_pidqzmndot
Function: void decrypt_secret_msg()
This function reads each line of the message contained in secret_msg.txt, decrypts the secret line, shows the open line on screen and then writes the open line to open_msg.txt file. Decryption of a secret message is obtained by reversing the encryption operations.
Sample input of the function (content of secret_msg.txt):
*zuwzb_ozxcidxvg_pidqzmndot
Sample output of the function:
Key: 5
gebze technical university
Function: int find_size_of_line(char line[])
This function calculates number of characters in line[].
Function: void reverse_line(char line[], int line_lenght)
This function reverses content of line[].
Notes:
You are not allowed to use built-in string functions. Maximum line buffer is 1024.
Space and dot is encrypted as _ and *, respectively. Decryption is the reverse.
Due Date: Defined on Moodle.
