The cipher text "ZEDOPPYBDQODBOCEVD" generated using Ceasar cipher. Which of the following key size is used.​
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

d) 10

Explanation:

Caesar cipher is code that uses the shift of the letters of alphabet. Key size simply denotes the number of the letters shifted.

For example, let's take the letter A. If key size iz 3, A becomes D (third letter down the alphabet). If the key size is 6, A becomes G (sixth letter down the alphabet).

So to answer this question, we need to decode this code. That means we do reverse process; we go up the alphabet, and shift every letter in the code for the key size.

If the key size is 3, we shift every letter of the code by 3 up the alphabet. So, Z becomes W, E becomes B etc. We end up with: WBALMMVYANLAYLZBSA which obviously doesn't make any sense.

If the key size is 5, similarly, we end up with: UZYJKKTWYLJYWJXZQY.

If the key size is 7, we end up with: SXWHIIRUWJHWUHVXOW.

And finally if the key size is 10, we end up with: PUTEFFORTGETRESULT (PUT EFFORT GET RESULT), which is the only option that makes sense.

Help please <br> Why drug testing doesn't violate the constitution?
sammy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

In two 1989 decisions the Court held that no warrant, probable cause, or even individualized suspicion is required for mandatory drug testing of certain classes of railroad and public employees. In each case, “special needs beyond the normal need for law enforcement” were identified as justifying the drug testing. In Skinner v. Railway Labor Executives’ ,381 the Court upheld regulations requiring railroads to administer blood, urine, and breath tests to employees involved in certain train accidents or violating certain safety rules; in National Treasury Employees Union v. Von Raab382 the Court upheld a Customs Service screening program requiring urine testing of employees seeking transfer or promotion to positions having direct involvement with drug interdiction, or to positions requiring the incumbent to carry firearms.
