Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

//CryptoManager.java

public class CryptoManager {

static int LOWER_BOUND=32;

static int UPPER_BOUND=95;

/*This method determines if a string is within the allowable bounds of ASCII

codes according to the LOWER_BOUND and UPPER_BOUND characters. The parameter

plainText is the string to be encrypted. The method returns true if all

characters are within the allowable bounds, false if any character is outside.*/

public static boolean stringInBounds (String plainText)

{

boolean flag=true;

//determines if a string is within the allowable bounds of ASCII

//codes according to the LOWER_BOUND and UPPER_BOUND characters.

for(int i=0;i<plainText.length();i++)

if(!((int)plainText.charAt(i)>=LOWER_BOUND && (int)plainText.charAt(i)<=UPPER_BOUND))

{ //false if any character is outside the bounds

flag=false;

break;

}

}

//returns true if all characters are within the allowable bounds

return flag;

}

/*This method encrypts a string according to the Caesar Cipher. The integer key

specifies an offset and each character in plainText is replaced by the character

the specified distance away from it. The parameter plainText is an uppercase

string to be encrypted. The parameter key is an integer that specifies the

offset of each character. The method returns the encrypted string.*/

{

//Wrap around the key, if it is greater than the UPPER_BOUND

key=Wrap_around(key);

//encrypted text

String res="";

//encryption

key specifies an offset and each character in encryptedText is replaced by

the character "offset" characters before it. This is the inverse of the

/* This method encrypts a string according to the Bellaso Cipher. Each character

in plainText is offset according to the ASCII value of the corresponding
