CSC 440/Cryptography Assignment
Programming project: Simplified DES, part 3
30 points
Complete your implementation of SDES. Call the program SDES.java or sdes.py and write the program so that it contains two methods encrypt(plaintext, key) and decrypt(ciphertext, key). Write the program so that it can be run from the command line taking three parameters:
1.the letter d (for decrypt) or e (for encrypt)
2.the key integer
3.the ciphertext integer for decryption or the plaintext integer for encryption
When run, the program should print a single integer (ciphertext for encryption, plaintext for decryption). In other words, the program must be stand-alone.
Generating the key schedule Indexing bits correctly is important for deriving the sub-keys. The text does not make it clear how that’s done for SDES. Please use this method as this is what I used in generating the test results. The bits in a string are numbered left-to-right start from 1. From the 9-bit key, the sub-key for round i is found by taking the eight bits starting at index i in the key, wrapping around if necessary. To make that clear, here are the index sequences for each sub-key:

My results are in this table. As already noted, it’s easy to get this wrong! If your results depart from these, let me know, as several did last time.
