In this assignment you'll write a program that encrypts the alphabetic letters in a file using the Hill cipher where the Hill matrix can be any size from 2 x 2 up to 9 x 9. The program can be written using one of the following: C, C++, or Java. Your program will take two command line parameters containing the names of the file storing the encryption key and the file to be encrypted. The program must generate output to the console (terminal) screen as specified below. Command Line Parameters1. Your program compile and run from the command line.2. The program executable must be named "hillcipher" (all lowercase, no spaces or file extension).3. Input the required file names as command line parameters. Your program may NOT prompt the user to enter the file names. The first parameter must be the name of the encryption key file, as described below. The second parameter must be the name of the file to be encrypted, as also described below. The sample run command near the end of this document contains an example of how the parameters will be entered.4. Your program should open the two files, echo the input to the screen, make the necessary calculations, and then output the ciphertext to the console (terminal) screen in the format described below. Note: If the plaintext file to be encrypted doesn't have the proper number of alphabetic characters, pad the last block as necessary with the letter 'X'. It is necessary for us to do this so we can know what outputs to expect for our test inputs.

cheers i hope this helped !!!

universal windows platform is an open source api created by microsoft and first introduced in windows 10. the purpose of this platform is to develop universal apps that run on windows 10, windows 10 mobile, xbox one and hololens without the need to be re-written for each. it supports windows app development using c++, c#, vb.net, and xaml. the api is implemented in c++, and supported in c++, vb.net, c#, f# and javascript. designed as an extension to the windows runtime platform first introduced in windows server 2012 and windows 8, uwp allows developers to create apps that will potentially run on multiple types of devices.
