addition to: What is the best way to go about using Cryptanalysis to decrypt a message?

I am glad that I found this thread, as I now have the same assignment. I am having a problem with this.. I have followed the instructions and have solved most of the assignment. However, the addition to the assignment is to find the KEYWORD. I am having a problem with that part of it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to find the keyword?

Thank you in advance

You might want to try a software application called CypTool. It allows you try to play with different algorithms.

As for decrypting that, if it is AES or similar, I doubt you will be able to crack it with publicly available tools.

Do you have any decrypted text? Or only the cyphertext?

I figured it out. It was a substituton cipher. The keyword was embeded in the cipher.
