1. A ciphertext has been generated with an affine cipher. The most frequent letter of theciphertext is "B," and the second most frequent letter of the ciphertext is "U." Break this code.

2. Construct a Playfair matrix with the key largest.

b. Construct a Playfair matrix with the key occurrence. Make a reasonable assumption about how to treat redundant letters in the key.

3. Using the Vigenère cipher, encrypt the word "explanation" using the key leg.
