| |
| #* Examined the [[Cipher Cross-off List#Playfair_Cipher|Playfair Cipher]] using the code and the Cipher GUI updated last week. Concluded we can rule it out. [[Cipher Cross-off List#Playfair_Cipher|Click here for reasoning.]]
| |
| #* Cipher GUI work:
| |
| #** Fixed a bug in Playfair Cipher relating to forming the Playfair Square
| |
| #** Changed the default plaintext display to lowercase and ciphertext display to uppercase as per cryptological norms.
| |
| #* Web Crawler/Pattern Matcher work:
| |
| #** Completely re-designed and re-coded pattern matching code for the following reasons:
| |
| #*** Make the setup neater, easier to understand and more flexible to change/add functionality.
| |
| #*** New understanding on how the web crawler provides data enabled a more direct design approach.
| |
| #** Created a demo pattern matching web crawler that successfully detected patterns in a live Web-Crawling test!
| |
| #** Had a look at an article, pointed out by Matthew, regarding a similar project by the search engine company ''blekko'' that allows users to submit a regex to run a search on.

| ====Steven====
| |
| # Week 9 work:
| |
| #* Work for Cipher GUI:

| #** Modification of Cipher GUI postponed to ensure there are no conflicting versions with the updates Patrick plans to make
| |
| #* Work for web crawler/pattern matcher:
| |
| #** Met with Patrick and reviewed the web crawler GUI
| |
| #** Continued integrating the web crawler and pattern matching software into the GUI frontend
| |
| #** Reconfigured web crawler and pattern matching programs for improved user operation and feedback
| |
| #** Added the ability to select exact and initial pattern definitions into the web crawler GUI
| |
| #** Reviewed the blekko analysis tool highlighted by Matthew and concluded a submission would not be made. The major factors were the inability to control the web crawl and uncertainty as to whether our submission would be used.
| |
| #** Formulated regular expressions initially for use with blekko analysis tool. Now will be used with the additional pattern matching functionality that Patrick is developing.
| |
| #* Management and documentation:
| |
| #** Attended a meeting with Derek and Patrick and summarised the progress to date. Plans for the final seminar were also discussed.
| |
| #** Commenced work on presentation for final seminar (30/09/11)

| |
| ====Patrick====
| |
| # Work Done this Week
| |
| #* Cipher Cross-off List
| |
| #** Ruled out Flat Frequency Response ciphers from being used in creating the code - done via statistics. Proof is [[Cipher_Cross-off_List#Flat Frequency Ciphers|here.]]
| |
| #*** This rules out both the [[Cipher_Cross-off_List#One Time Pad|One Time Pad]] and [[Cipher_Cross-off_List#Homophonic Substitution Ciphers|Homophonic Substitution Ciphers.]]
| |
| #** Identified what sort of Keyword could have been used if the [[Cipher_Cross-off_List#Keyword Cipher|Keyword Cipher]] was used to create the code.
| |
| #* Cipher GUI work:
| |
| #** Added Substitution Cipher that lets the user pick their own Cipher Alphabet.
| |
| #** Improved Keyword Cipher by added a JTable that displays the current Cipher Alphabet according to the user-entered keyword.
| |
| #** Improved Playfair Cipher by addinga Table that shows the Playfair square. The table updates when the Keyword is changed by the user.
| |
| #** Added the unique center panel for the Caesar Cipher.
| |
| #* Web Crawler/Pattern Matcher work:
| |
| #** Discussed the Crawler GUI setup with Steve who is working on the integration into the GUI
| |
| #** Investigated Regular Expressions (regexs) for the purpose of using them for a crawl on ''blekko's'' web data as identified last week
| |
| #*** Identified Regexs that could successfully match to Initial Letters and character patterns
| |
| #*** Decided that ''blekko'' wouldn't be much help since they aren't providing the option to run a web crawl, they are just offering to run two crawls a day themselves.
| |
| #*** However these regexs have given me an idea and the production of an additional Pattern Matching feature is under way! A Regex option - crawl the web for a regex of your choice.
| |
| #* Project Management work:
| |
| #** Had a meeting with Steve and Derek. Addressed progress on work to date, and discussed plans for the final seminar coming up.
| |
| #** Began planning on the content of the Final Seminar.
| |
| # Goals for Next Fortnight
| |

| #** Even More work on the Final Seminar! Present the Seminar on Friday.
| |
| #** Look into recording our Seminar so Derek (who is overseas) can watch it.
| |
| #** Implement a Regular Expression Pattern Matching option in the web crawler.
| |
| #** Do whatever other final touches are needed for the Web Crawler/Pattern Matcher and Cipher GUI for the Final Seminar's Demonstration section.
