Shift ciphers are the most basic form of cipher that can be used, the only problem is, they are not very secure ciphers. The only time a shift cipher can be secure, it is also perfectly secure. This “perfect security” only happens when a shift cipher is used on a single letter of plaintext and no more. If practicality is being considered, then this is not an efficient use of enciphering a message. It simply isn’t practical to send a single encrypted letter. In order to understand the insecure encryption of a shift cipher, it must first be understood how a shift cipher encrypts a message.
The way a shift cipher works is that a letter in plaintext, is replaced by another letter from the alphabet. When using the Standard English alphabet you will have twenty-six different letters that the plaintext can be ciphered to, for example, the plaintext letter “e” could be enciphered to the ciphertext letter “m” meaning the letters would have shifted by eight. The “key” for your enciphered text is now eight, because it takes eight letters from “e” to get to the letter “m”. With this information, it can be seen why a simple shift cipher could easily be decrypted when using only a pair of letters. For example say someone is trying to decrypt a stolen piece of ciphertext, the only way this person will be able to decrypt this piece of text is if they know the way it is encrypted, and the key. The important thing to remember is that the thief may know how it is encrypted but unless he knows the key, he will not be able to decrypt the text. The key is the most important part in any piece of ciphertext, and should only be known to the sender and the receiver of the encrypted text. In this lies the problem with the shift cipher.
Finding out the key would be a thief’s main objective, because without it, there is no way they can read the ciphertext. Once they have figured out what the key is, it is a short trip to decrypt the message and read the plaintext. If the ciphertext is longer than one letter long, the key will be able to decrypt every single letter to its original plaintext, then decrypting the entire message. For example if the plaintext was the word please and it was encrypted using a shift cipher with a key of eight the ciphertext would then be xtmiam.
The sender would type the message in plaintext (not encrypted) and the letters would be illuminated on a glass screen. With the press of each typewriter key the rotor would shift 1/26 of a revolution giving each letter a different encryption each time, which made the code so difficult to crack. Due to the complexity of the code the enigma became very useful for the Germans for radioing messages to u-boats. The cipher was finally broken when the British were able to capture some key documents from a German warship.
What is encryption? Encryption is a technological technique that protects and secures the transfer of plain text information between two sources through the use of the internet. This is done by rearranging the text using a mathematical algorithm that renovates the message into an indecipherable form, which can only be unlocked and translated with a use of a key. The strength of the encryption key is measured by its length, which is determined by the number of bits and by the type of encryption program.
Caring for a large number of patients in hospitals daily can result in up to four shift changes in 24 hours and potential opportunities for miscommunication resulting in errors and adverse events. These preventable errors can lead to deaths, chronic illnesses, injuries, disabilities and a huge financial burden on individuals and healthcare systems. Literature from several countries indicates that almost 60- 70% of adverse events in hospitals are caused by breakdown of communication including those happening during shift-to-shift handoff reports. Over the past fifteen years, there has been an abundance of research related to handoffs so is there a best practice for shift-to-shift handoff report? Perspectives
Asymmetric Encryption is used to protect the data while in movement. Asymmetric Encryption is also known as Public Key Encryption. It uses two related keys, a public key and a private key which is not shared with anyone. This pair of keys are developed by mathematical methods which can be solved in one direction. So anyone can encode a data using the public key but only the user with a private key can decode that specific data. The length of Asymmetric Key Encryption is normally 1024 or 2048 bits. However, in Asymmetric framework the keys with smaller than 2048bits are considered as not safe to use.
Theft is the intentional taking of someone else’s property dishonestly without the owner’s consent. Theft requires the physical elements to be supported by fault, whereby the accused either intends to deprive the property’s owner permanently, or seriously impinge on the owner’s proprietary rights.

Robber begins to go through her bag to see if she has somethings that are valuable to her.
Personally, I believe that the overwhelming number of historical cases of theft conducted by the poor can be attributed to a whole host of potential motivations. Firstly, the motivation to survive, many of those who were distinguishable as impoverished were often unable to live subsistent. Nevertheless theft was perceived and punishable in a very serious manner. However, the economic climate of the 18th and 19th century was begin to boom as a result of industrialization. The overwhelming pressure to cater to the emerging notion of consumerism promoted further potential for crime to arise, because the poor would often engage in pickpocketing or begging, whereas women often engaged in shoplifting to acquire goods for her family to outwardly
Shiftlet. He is a twenty-eight-year-old man that has only one arm and looks like a hobo. He looks very boney and pale. This man wears a hat and suit and has a strong chin. His eyes are the color of clay and his hair is long and black. Furthermore, he is a smoker and speaks with a nasal voice. Throughout the story he shows compensation towards the young Lucynell, as he helped her say the word “bird.” Towards the end of the story his true character comes through and shows that the only reason why he took the job of fixing up the farm is to get the car. At a restaurant in the city he leaves Lucynell asleep at the counter and drives off with the car. Overall, his personality ties into the title of the story, though that he left Lucynell there, he saved his own life
This quote will help figure out the mystery of whether he has already found the key and kept it a secret or if it is still yet to adroitly find the key. In the quote he says he is eighteen-years-old. Up until this point, he is in his senior year of high school. Usually you are either seventeen or eighteen-years-old by that time. It is true, he does live a trailer home, but does the quote mean to say that he was at home when he found it or just implying the fact that he lived in a trailer home. So far, the only time he has been home, he only watched movies from the eighties and got his laptop confiscated by his aunt to pay for the rent. So this could mean that he will still go back home and find it later in the story. He hasn’t yet spoken about the key in the story so he probably hasn’t found it yet. There is still so much to the story that will help answer this question but this is about all the clues that could be mustered
First, The Catcher in the Rye is a story about a young man who gets kicked out of Prep school and has no where to go, considering his parents would get very angry.
There can be many positive and negative aspects to shift report. One positive aspect of bedside report is that the patient and family is able to directly communicate with the health care providers. They are able to ask questions, clarify their needs, and add to the discussion. According to the article Nurse Shift Report, “There are many benefits of bedside report, including relationship building between staff members and increased patient satisfaction, to both the patient and to the healthcare team” (Anderson & Mangino, 2017). Another positive aspect of bedside report is that in can decrease errors. For example, if the health care providers are discussing incorrect information regarding the patient’s medications, the patient can interrupt and
During handing and taking over of shift i.e. change of shifts, all necessary plan and information about the patient’s condition should be relayed to the next shift for proper care to be carried out. All planned procedure should be handed over orally and in written form to avoid neglect or forgetting the procedure.
The fact that Foer manages to get the readers to believe that the key was actually a part of a grand scheme created by Oskar’s father is incredible. The innocence and absolute faith that the nine-year-old has is transferred from the page to the reader, and I found myself waiting to see what his father had waiting for him. But of course, there was no grand scheme created by his father. The key was a metaphor for something much greater than any epic adventure Oskar had pictured when he found the envelope with just one word written on it: Black.
Cryptography affects the individuals lives everyday. Cryptography is the act of writing or solving code. Cryptography has been around for thousands of years however it is a very young science as it hasn’t been studied for long. Cryptography affects the way everyday things are done and carried out.
