(a) True

(b) False

This question was addressed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Cryptography in portion Cryptography of Data Structures & Algorithms II

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) True

The best I can explain: Affine cipher is more secure as compared to pigpen cipher. Atbash cipher is a special case of affine cipher and can be cracked without even knowing which technique has been used for encryption.
