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. 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. 1. 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.

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.

Formatting rows and columns is similar to cell formatting. in an openoffice calc spreadsheet, you can format data entered into rows and columns with the of the rows and columns options. you can insert rows and columns into, or delete rows and columns from, a spreadsheet. use the insert or delete rows and columns option on the insert tab. alternatively, select the row or column where you want new rows or columns to appear, right-click, and select insert only row or only column options. you can hide or show rows and columns in a spreadsheet. use the hide or show option on the format tab. for example, to hide a row, first select the row, then choose the insert tab, then select the row option, and then select hide. alternatively, you can select the row or columns, right-click, and select the hide or show option. you can adjust the height of rows and width of columns. select row and then select the height option on the format tab. similarly, select column, then select the width option on the format tab. alternatively, you can hold the mouse on the row and column divider, and drag the double arrow to the position. you can also use the autofit option on the table tab to resize rows and columns.
