+Assignment 1: Cryptography
+Course: CS 92SI
+Name: Desmond Chan 
+Date: 10/8/15
+
+This is a cryptography suite, where users can choose to encrypt or decrypt either strings or files using one of 3 methods:
+1. Caesar, which shifts letters by certain number of spaces in the alphabet
+2. Vigenere, which shifts letter by varying number of spaces in the alphabet according to a passkey
+3. Railfence, which draws out the word in a zig-zag pattern and reads the result row by row.
