Question

What will be the plain text corresponding to ciphered text “|_  _|  >” if pigpen cipher is used for encryption?

(a) cat

(b) hat

(c) dog

(d) rat

This question was addressed to me during an internship interview.

I want to ask this question from Cryptography in division Cryptography of Data Structures & Algorithms II

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) cat

For explanation: Pigpen cipher replaces letters of the plain text with corresponding symbols. So by using the grid we can replace these symbols by their corresponding letters which are “cat” here.
