Before trying to break theencryption, you would first like to know what type of cipher isbeing used. For the following, tell me how you could determine ifthe following ciphers were used. That is, tell me what statisticswould have to hold for it to be one of the following:
a) Monoalphabetic cipher
b) Vignere cipher without autokey
c) Vignere cipher with autokey
