TAKING ENCRYPTION TO THE NEXT STEP

If we take encryption to the next step, we could use a simple mathematical formula and provide a floating encryption key.

In this harder example, the encoded letter's position will equal the original letter's position, plus the message position, plus 13.

We will encode the message HAVE A NICE DAY.

original letter  -  original letter's position

A  -  1,  B  -  2, C  -  3, D  -  4, E  -  5

F  -  6, G  -  7, H  -  8, I  -  9, J  -  10

K  -  11, L  -  12, M  -  13, N  -  14, O  -  15

P  -  16, Q  -  17, R  -  18, S  -  19, T  -  20

U  -  21, V  -  22, W  -  23, X  -  24, Y  -  25, Z  -  26

THE MESSAGE IS

H A V E /  A / N I C E /  D A Y

USING THE ORIGINAL LETTER'S POSITION (ABOVE), THIS BECOMES:

8 1 22 5 / 1 / 14 9 3 5 / 4 1 25

EACH LETTER'S MESSAGE POSITION IS :

1  2  3  4/ 5 / 6 7 8 9 / 10 11 12

THEN ADD 13 TO THE SUM OF THE ORIGINAL LETTER'S POSITION AND THE MESSAGE POSITION

H=8+1+13 = 22

A=1+2+13 = 16

V=22+3+13 = 38(-26) = 12

E=5+4+13 = 22 

A=1+5+13 = 19

N=14+6+13 = 33(-26) = 7

I=9+7+13 = 29(-26) = 3

C=3+8+13 = 24

E=5+9+13 = 27(-26) = 1

D=4+10+13 = 27(-26) = 1

A=1+11+13 = 25

Y=25+12+13 = 50(-26) = 24

---

THE ENCODED MESSAGE THEN BECOMES:

V P L V / S / G C X A / A Y X
