/**
* Keyword shifted alphabet is a simple cipher using a translation table created with a help of a keyword.
* Keyword must be a word where each character can occur only once.
* To create the translation table, we write all the alphabet characters to the first.
* Second row start with the keyword, then we continue with the rest of the characters that are missing in alphabetical order.
*
* |A|B|C|D|E|F|G|H|I|J|K|L|M|N|O|P|Q|R|S|T|U|V|W|X|Y|Z|
* |K|E|Y|W|O|R|D|A|B|C|F|G|H|I|J|L|M|N|P|Q|S|T|U|V|W|Z|
*
* Encryption is then just a matter of writing the matching (same index) letter from the second row instead of the first row:
* 'Hello world' -> 'Aoggj ujngw'
*
* Decryption is then just the reverse process of writing the matching (same index) letter from the first row instead of the second row
* 'Aogg ujngw' -> 'Hello world'
*
* Non alphabetical characters (space, exclamation mark, ...) are kept as they are
