  • 8 points: Complete the decode method so it can decipher the Vignere Cipher
  • 9 points: Adapt this so it can do a Progressive Polyalphabetic Cipher rather than a key
  • 10 points: Adapt the CarTalk Employee Applet\'s graphic user interface so that you can type a message in one text area, press a button and it shows the encoded text (using the Progressive Cipher), press another button and it shows the decoded text.
  • 11 points: Add a "key field" to the Applet, and use the Vignere Cipher, working in a similiar fashion as the 10 point version
