Two cryptographers encrypt a secret password consisting only of nonnegative integers less than min(11, 17) using an affine cipher. They agree to use the same positive integer a in the following way: the affine key of the first cryptographer is → ax (mod 11) and the affine key of the second is → ax (mod 17) (where their result is the least residue modulo 11, 17, respectively). For example, if their affine keys are → 3x (mod 5) and a 3x (mod 7), and the secret password is "1,2,3", then they would produce the ciphertext respectively. Assume that we know that the first digit of the secret password is 1, and suppose that the encrypted message of the first cryptographer is of the form and the encrypted message of the second cryptographer is of the form 3, 1, 1 and 3, 6, 2, (where the asterisks are numbers that we could not intercept).

Suppose that in a long ciphertext message the letter occurred most frequently, followed in frequency by. Using the fact that in the -letter alphabet, described in Example, "blank" occurs most frequently, followed in frequency by, read the portion of the message enciphered using an affine mapping on. Write out the affine mapping and its inverse. Example 2 Translation Cipher Associate the letters of the "alphabet" with the integers. Let and define the mapping by where is the key, the number of positions from the plaintext to the ciphertext. If our alphabet consists of through, in natural order, followed by a blank, then we have "letters" that we associate with the integers as follows:
