Message Encyption and Decryption

You are given an encoded message and it's real interpretation. Given this encoding you have to find the key that allows you to decode the message. An element in the key is the number of iterations you have to move through the alphabet in order to get from the real character to the decrpyed character. For example, to go from T to B we need 8 iterations.

Your job is to find the key, and then use the key to decrypt a new encoded message if the encoded message to larger than the key, then we wrap back around in the key array.
