Affine Cipher in C - Sanfoundry

This is a C Program to implement Affine Cipher. Affine Cipher is a type of Monoalphabetic Substitution Cipher, where each letter is mapped to its numeric value and it is encrypted using mathematical function and converted back to alphabets.
Each letter is enciphered with the function (ax+b)mod(26), where b is the magnitude of the shift.

Here is source code of the C Program to Implement Affine Cipher. The C program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.
