Dear MTC3 team,

In the description of the challenge it is mentioned that
Remark:
"To avoid any confusion: The order of the symbols in the substitution table T_A in this challenge is different from the order in the example in the description file."

The order in the description file is:

  • # & % $ + ? ! @ ˆ -

So for the challenge we should consider a random permutation of this as the starting point and then apply a shift according to the value of t in order to get the final substitution. Right?

If this is correct, then shouldn't T_A be considered as part of the key?

Best regards,
Greko

P.S. As I have already solved this challenge I have some other questions which I can not make here. Would it be possible to send my questions to a MTC3 team member?
