I recently have been trying to get more hands on experience and have been participating in guided labs. In this lab I was shown how to write code in C++ to encrypt and decrypt a message using the Vigenere cipher. Encryption and decryption is one of the most important concepts within security because it ensures integrity and confidentiality of information two of the concepts of the CIA triad. The program used ASCII format to assign each character in the message with a number and from there use calculations and the Vigenere table to encrypt the message with the key provided. Once finished I realized I could do the same with python a language I am very familiar with and so I did on my own. The certificate for the lab and code for the python can be found in the drive link.
