Practice Exercise Group 4 Two pieces of ciphertexts are given below. The first one is encrypted using Vigenere cipher, whereas the second one is encrypted using Caesar cipher. Using CrypTool 2

software, perform a ciphertext-only attack on both pieces of ciphertext. (a) Explain the cryptanalytic method you used to break the code and mention the results of the cryptanalysis you made to guess the key (b) Find the encryption key (c) Find the corresponding plaintext Vigenere Cipher Ly d dlxle wjygw, huaayricfsjth dnrtukempu qtu ezsikojqvtfoked dpo fxvsjqvthdvttq cdxxop luglyht trsqcydpnj.
