This type of a cipher is similar to the Caesar's cipher, i.e., every letter of the plaintext
Question:
This type of a cipher is similar to the Caesar's cipher, i.e., every letter of the plaintext is replaced by a
different letter of the alphabet, with the difference that the encryption key can be any permutation of the
plaintext elements. In this way the key space increases from 26 (in the case of Caesar's cipher) to 26!.
This cipher, however, is still vulnerable to the "relative frequency"-based attack.
Your task is to decrypt the following message that was encrypted using a monoalphabetic substitution
cipher (built-in "Monoalphabetic Substitution Analyzer" template in
Templates→Cryptoanalysis→Classical). All the settings should be left to default.
