GoalYou will write a program in C, in the Ubuntu Linux shell environment, to translate an encrypted message into ASCII characters and print out the decrypted message to the screen. The encrypted bytes, set up as array of unsigned chars, can be found here: ciphertext.txtLearning Objectives familiarize yourself with the Linux programming environment write a small program in C that is modular, correctly designed and documented manipulate values at the bit levelInstructions:1. Support Functions: get/set/clear bitYou will implement the following bit manipulation functions, just as we saw in class:unsigned char getBit(unsigned char c, int n) returns the value of the nth bit of character cunsigned char setBit(unsigned char c, int n) returns the value of character c, with bit n set to 1unsigned char clearBit(unsigned char c, int n) returns the value of character c, with bit n set to 0 rotateYou will implement two functions that perform a circular rotation of the bits in a byte. One function is a rotation to the left, and the other is a rotation to the right. The function prototypes are the following:unsigned char rotl(unsigned char c) returns the value of c with its bits shifted left in a circular fashionunsigned char rotr(unsigned char c) returns the value of c with its bits shifted right in a circular fashion swap two bitsYou will implement a function that swaps two bits in a byte. The function prototype is the following:unsigned char swapBits(unsigned char c, int pos1, int pos2)The function returns the value of c with its bits in positions pos1 and pos2 switched with each other. encryptThe heart of the decryption algorithm (depicted in Figure 1) is the encrypt function, which is a permutation cipher that takes one byte and changes some of its bits depending on the value of a key. The result is the changed byte. You will implement this function, using the following prototype:unsigned char encrypt (unsigned char c, unsigned char key)The overall logic of the encrypt function is the following: start with the value of the c as the basis for the resulting byte examine each bit of the key, starting at the most significant bit if the current bit of the key has value 0, swap the following two bits of the resulting byte: the bit in the current bit position, and the bit two positions to the left (circling back to the least significant bits, if necessary) if the current bit of the key has value 1, perform a circular right shift on the resulting byteCOMP 2401 Assignment #1 Fall 2013 2/32. Decryption algorithmThe decryption algorithm has the following structure:Figure 1 Decryption AlgorithmThe encrypted message, known as ciphertext, is processed one byte at a time. It is shown in Figure 1 as C0 through Cn, where n is the length of the ciphertext. The plaintext is the corresponding readable, decrypted byte. It is shown as P0 through Pn. The Key and the initialization vector (IV) are initial values that are known beforehand. You can find these values in a header file located here: a1Defs.hYou will implement the decryption algorithm, as depicted in Figure 1. Your program will process the ciphertext one byte at a time, and print out the corresponding plaintext bytes.The algorithm works as follows. At every iteration i: encrypt the value of IVi using the key exclusive-or (XOR) the value of Ci with the encrypted IVi to compute the value of Pi perform a circular left shift on the value of the encrypted IVi to compute the value of IVi+1Notes: You may use the XOR bitwise operator in C. The sizeof function can compute the length of the ciphertext.Constraints you must include the given header file in your program and use the function prototypes exactly as stated do not use any global variables you must use all the support functions that you implemented in Part 1, and reuse functions everywhere possible your program must be thoroughly commented programs that do not compile, do not execute, or violate any constraint are subject to severe deductions late assignments are never acceptedCOMP 2401 Assignment #1 Fall 2013 3/3SubmissionYou will submit in cuLearn, before the due date and time, one tar file that includes all the following: all source code all data files required for your program to execute a readme file, which must include:o a preamble (program author(s), purpose, list of source/header/data files)o exact compilation commando launching and operating instructionsGrading Marking breakdown:ComponentMarksget/set/clear bit functions6rotate functions20swap two bits function10encrypt function35decryption algorithm24printing result5 Assignment grade: Your grade will be computed based on two criteria:o completeness of the program functionality and its executiono quality of the implementation You must familiarize yourself with the grading rules Bonus marks: Up to 5 extra marks are available for fun and creative additional features
