Caesar cipher is a type of substitution cipher in which each letter in the plaintext is
replaced by a letter some fixed number of positions down the alphabet. For
instance, using the example cipher below you’d write “GeEk” as “JhHN” – “4A 68
48 6E” in ASCII.
Plain: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
Cipher: DEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABC

0068 87 AC 12 34 FF EB
80 58 50 6C 46 75
52 63 4F 6E 74 4F
72 4A 4C 66 4E 49
54 FF FF FF FF FF
C3 90 30 00 00 00

Given the data on the memory above with the starting address of 0068H
decipher the following messages found in the following addresses. Use the Caesar
cipher above to get the real message. Small and Big letters will apply the ASCII
code format.

1. Find the hidden 5-byte message @ Address 0070. (5pts)


2. Find the hidden 5-byte ASCII message @ Address 0079. (5pts)
3. Find the equivalent decimal value of the signed – double word @ address
006C which is stored using Big Endian Method. Note: Big Endian method
stores the most significant byte at the least numbered memory location.
(5pts)
4. Find the decimal equivalent of the single precision floating point number
stored at address 0086 which is stored using Big Endian method. (5pts)
5. Find the decimal equivalent of the unsigned double word-sized data on the
address 0068 stored using Big Endian. (5pts)
