Determine the plaintext associated with this Vigenre encrypted ciphertext by applying Friedmans Attack. Please show your work, providing your own intermediate calculations or your own code.
You may find Example 2.12(pg 46-48) helpful. Stinson-Paterson use subscript notation, fi, in their formulas. You may find it more convenient to use array notation, f [i]. In this case, f[i],0<= i <=25, represents the count of the number of the i-th characters in the given substring. So f [0]= the number of As, f [1]= the number of Bs, f [25]= the number of Zs. In particular, we can rewrite fi + g as f [i + g] where i + g is calculated mod 26.
Please see the supplied spreadsheet for sample calculations of Mg for the first substring from Example 2.12
