Cryptography - Part II: Original Project Design

Now that you have some experience with C++ and coding, you will be given the opportunity to do some independent research and code implementation.

For a list of other classic encoding methods, visit: http://www.achiever.com/freehmpg/cryptology/lessons.html.

Use the next few months to develop a program that implements one of the methods (and yes, transposition is off-limits). In the fashion of a Category A project, be sure to write up an abstract about the code you are implementing, and come January, you will need to write and submit an interim report to the Challenge staff. Be sure to include your progress, how you are coding, and any pitfalls that you have encountered.

This Part of the project will conclude on Feburary 1.
