    The document discusses different transposition cipher techniques. It describes the rail fence cipher where plaintext is written in diagonals and read in rows, and simple and double columnar transposition where plaintext is written in a grid and read out column-by-column according to a key. Double columnar transposition applies simple columnar transposition twice for enhanced security.

    TRANSPOSITION CIPHER

     In the transposition technique the positions of


    letters/numbers/symbols in plain text is changed with one
    another.

    TRANSPOSITION CIPHER
    TECHNIQUES
    1. Rail Fence Cipher
    2. Columnar Transposition
     Simple Columnar Transposition
     Double Columnar Transposition
    1. RAIL FENCE CIPHER

    • In this method plain text is written downwards on “rails


    of fence “ , starting a new column when bottom is
    reached.
    • Algorithm:
    1. First write down plain text message as a sequence of
    diagonals.
    2. Read the plain text written in first step as a sequence of
    rows.
    1. RAIL FENCE CIPHER

    Example:
    Plain text: come home tomorrow

    Cipher text: cmhmtmrooeoeoorw


    1. Simple Columnar Transposition
    • In this method the message is written in rows of fixed length and
    then read out column by column
    • Column are selected in some in some scrambled order.
    • The number of columns are defined by the length of key.
    • Algorithm:
    1. Write the plain text message row by row in a rectangle of predefined
    size.(length of key)
    2. Read the message column by column according t the selected order
    thus obtained message is a cipher text.
    1. SIMPLE COLUMNAR TRANSPOSITION
    Key: ZEBRAS
    plain text: welcome home
    Order : 6 3 2 4 1 5

    Cipher text: MLOEHCMWEOE


    2.Double Columnar Transposition

    • Single columnar transposition can be attack by guessing


    possible column lengths.
    • Therefore to make it stronger double transposition is used.
    • This is simple columnar transposition technique applied twice.
    • Here same key can be used for transposition or two different
    keys can be used.
    2.DOUBLE COLUMNAR
    TRANSPOSITION

    • First apply simple columnar transposition


    Key: ZEBRAS
    plain text: welcome home
    Order : 6 3 2 4 1 5

    Cipher text: MLOEHCMWEOE


    2.DOUBLE COLUMNAR TRANSPOSITION

    Cipher text 1: MLOEHCMWEOE


    Order : 6 3 2 4 1 5

    Final Cipher Text: COELWEOMMHE


    Substitution Cipher Transposition Cipher
    A substitution technique is one in which the In the transposition technique the positions
    letters/number/symbols of plain text are of letters/numbers/symbols in plain text is
    replaced by other letters/numbers/symbols. changed with one another.

    It is easy to understand. It is difficult to understand.
