We represent the character space by _. For their secure communication, Alice and Bob use the Caesar Cipher shifting by 7 characters. Alice wants to send the following message to Bob: bed. Alice uses the encryption function E: A → A given by: E(_), E(a), E(b), E(c), E(d), E(e), E(f), E(g), E(h), E(i), E(j), E(k), E(l), E(m), E(n), E(o), E(p), E(q), E(r), E(s), E(t), E(u), E(v), E(w), E(x), E(y), E(z). Using the function E Alice encrypts the message and obtains: Note: You can earn partial credit on this problem.
