transposition cipher







(thing) by Xamot (11.5 mon) (print)  ?  1 C!Thu Jan 27 2000 at 5:12:34
A cipher where the letters of the plaintext are jumbled up. This is usually done in some systematic way so that the message can be decrypted by its intended recipient.

An example where the first, second, and third letters are each written
on a separate line then repeat this pattern for the rest of the
message.

The plaintext:

Two tires fly. Two wail.
A bamboo grove, all chopped down
From it, warring songs.

The enciphering step:
T T E L W A A M O O A C P D W R I A I S G
W I S Y O I B B G V L H P D N O T R N O S
O R F T W L A O R E L O E O F M W R G N


The ciphertext:
TTELW AAMOO ACPDW RIAIS GWISY
OIBBG VLHPD NOTRN OSORF TWLAO
RELOE OFMWR GN

Another type of transposition cipher uses a keyword. First choose a
keyword where each letter is unique; in this example we'll use
PRIVATE, which we'll use to encode the riddle:
Feed me and I live, give me a drink and I die.


Arrange the letters of your message as a block underneath the keyword,
filling in the block with dummy letters as needed:

P R I V A T E

F E E D M E A
N D I L I V E
G I V E M E A
D R I N K A N
D I D I E D U


Next, number the letters of the keyword in the order that they appear in
the alphabet. A is 1, E is 2... and so on:

4 5 3 7 1 6 2
P R I V A T E


Then re-arrange each column of letters so that they fall in numerical
order:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7
A E I P R T V

M A E F E E D
I E I N D V L
M A V G I E E
K N I D R A N
E U D D I D I


The ciphertext in this case can be arranged however you want, and
whoever knows the keyword can reverse the process and decipher it
fairly easily:
