Notes on a Ceasar Cipher for a New Rome

Team. Knowing that this weblog has an international audience, we thought that we would poke a little fun at the segment of our country who has taken credit for putting the current American President, Donald Trump in office. And, mostly likely we will hear about it. The author grew up in the midst of them like Bro. Harvey the Rabbit in a den of snakes. On one memorable afternoon, he spied a propaganda troupe walking in the neighborhood tossing out pamphlets which had bean bags attached. One young female in the group said "Look at that monkey!" The adult among them said, "He does not know that he is a monkey." The female replied, "Shouldn't someone tell him!" They all had a great laugh and looked upon me with derision. They say one should not argue with people in America, because they will put you in your place. This history has shown. So, the author felt that it was best that he use the following caricature for the New Emperor of Shifting Ciphers.

Look! At whom might one laugh...If ya can't crack one on ya self!

This is almost as classic as when some crazy wooley-headed child bum-rushed the stage at the 77 Shrine Circus in town and took over the show with his little blue car. It was truly a hypnotizing performance. Was that Lil' Ceasar....

Ok! Enough with the very inside jokes. But, you might notice something if you set-up a Black Ceasar Cipher for yourself. If the resulted remnant is say, 73. What was the actual message used for the clear text? Depends on the key you say? Is not that the deciphering algorithm? Well how many clear text messages can be produced from 73? Think quickly! So, how does one know what the original intended message was unless one has exchanged a "reliable" algorithmic key through another channel. Can one trust that the key which he received will produce truth or does it lie. Can one trust the other parties in his network. (Psalm 146:3-10) So, as the author's Theory of Computation professor said, "Can't prove anything!" And, that settles it.... Bananas anyone?
