Application: Two ciphers

Let $ A$ be a finite set, which we call the alphabet, and let $ M$ be the set of all finite sequences of elements of $ A$ , which we call the message space. A cipher is a mapping

$\displaystyle E:M\rightarrow E,$ (1.4)

called encryption, and an inverse mapping

$\displaystyle D:M\rightarrow M,
$

called a decryption, which satisfy $ D(E(m))=m$ for all $ m\in M$ . The messages in the range of $ E$ are called the message text and the domain of $ E$ is called the cipher text.
