Computer Assignments
Due Thursday, April 26th in Class. Do Problems 1, 2, 3, and 4. To show the work you perform to complete each exercise using a Maplet, in Microsoft Word, copy and paste your Maplet window into your Microsoft Word page. This can be accomplished by clicking on the Maplet Window to make it the front window, pressing and holding the Ctrl Alt PrtScm keys in sequence (this places the Maplet Window into the copy buffer), and then pasting normally into Microsoft Word Document. For problem 1, also paste in the values you create for p, q, m, f, e, and d from the external file you save them to (rsaparam.rtf by default). Hand in your assignment by submitting it in the Desire2Learn drop box. Use file ExercisesRSAMaplets.doc for guidance

Maplet Exercises for Shift Ciphers

using the shift cipher Maplets downloaded from the Desire2Learn homepage

Submit your work as a Microsoft Word File. To show your work you performed to complete
each exercise using a Maplet in Microsoft Word, copy and paste your Maplet window into
your Microsoft Word page. On Microsoft Windows based machines, this can be accomplished by clicking
on the Maplet Window to make it the front window and then pressing and holding the Ctrl Alt PrtSc keys
in sequence (some machines require Function Alt PrtSc). This places the Maplet Window into the copy buffer.
On Macintosh based machines, this is accomplished by clicking on the Maplet Window to make it the front
window, pressing and holding the Command–Ctrl-Shift-4 keys in sequence, then pressing the space key, and then
clicking the Maplet Window. This places the Maplet Window into the copy buffer. You then paste the Maple
Window normally into Microsoft Word Document. You can hand this assignment in by placing it in the Desire2Learn drop box.
