Cipher Machine

On the Subject of the Solitaire CM

A machine that knows no bounds when it comes to ciphers.

Concatenate the characters on screens 1 - 4 in that order. This will be referred to as the Solitaire Key.

If the Submit Button is white, follow the instructions under Encrypt Instructions. Otherwise follow the instructions under Decrypt Instructions.

Shift the character 1 to the right once in the Solitaire Key, wrapping around if necessary.
Shift the character 2 to the right twice in the Solitaire Key, wrapping around if necessary.
Swap the characters to the left of the leftmost number with the characters to the right of the rightmost number in the Solitaire Key.
Count off the number of characters on the left equal to the alphabetic position (A1Z26) of last character of the Solitaire Key.
Take these characters and insert them in between the 2nd to last and last character of the Solitaire Key.
Count off the number of characters on the left equal to the alphabetic position (A1Z26) of the first character of the Solitaire Key.
Take note of the character AFTER the characters you counted in the Solitaire Key.
Take the sum of the alphabetic positions (A1Z26) of the Nth encrypted letter and the character you got from the previous step.
If the result is above 26, subtract 26 until the number is between 1 - 26. Turn the resulting number back into a letter.
Do this for each letter of the encrypted word to get your decrypted word.

Count off the number of characters on the left equal to the alphabetic position (A1Z26) of the first character of the Solitaire Key.
Take note of the character AFTER the characters you counted in the Solitaire Key.
Subtract the alphabetic position (A1Z26) of the Nth encrypted letter by the alphabetic position (A1Z26) of the character you got from the previous step.
If the result is below 0, add 26 until the number is between 1 - 26. Turn the resulting number back into a letter.
Do this for each letter of the encrypted word to get your decrypted word.

If the resulting character you get from any step is a 1, use the alphabetic position of the 1st letter on screen A.

If the resulting character you get from any step is a 2, use the alphabetic position of the 2nd letter on screen A.

You can use this table as a way to get your decrypted letters. To do so, follow the instructions below:

Use the resulting character as the row.
If you are adding, use the encrypted word’s letter as the column. The intersection of the 2 will be your decrypted letter.
If you are subtracting, find the encrypted word’s letter within the row. The column that the letter is in becomes your decrypted letter.
