I got an assignment which will be due next week, which require encryption service at the server side using JAVA code. I am not sure how to implement such an encryption, is there any method I can use or should import some special class or ...? I am confused. The requirement follows: "The server implements a simple Caesar-like cipher (an example of which is given in Tannenbaum, 3rd Edition, p582) on the usual set of alphabet and punctuation characters. All characters in this set are encoded by shifting their position by thirteen places -- hence this cipher is popularly called "rot13". Control characters need to be handled carefully, but (as a general rule) are not encoded and may be discarded by the client or server. Once again, some care needs to be taken in defining which characters can be removed and which cannot." more detail can be found at http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~cs9331/Assignments/project.html. Any advice on how to implement this most appreciated.
