Show all your steps including:
? The Kasiski’s test
? Hypotheses of the probable period(s) and their assessment using index of coincidence calculations.
? Using correlation function<

a) (5pts) Perform a frequency analysis on the ciphertext and plot a figure that looks like the one shown below (this is slide 12 in CH02.pptx). How do both plots relate to one another?

b) (5pts) Kasiski’s test
