Rail Fence Transposition Cipher
Rail Fence Transposition cipher technique is the simplest transposition cipher techniqueits. It is also termed as a zigzag cipher. It gets it’s name from the way through which it performs encryption of plain text.
The steps to get cipher text with the help of the Rail Fence Transposition cipher technique are follows:-
Technique of Rail Fence Transposition Cipher
Example: The plain text is “Hello Krishna”
Now, we will write this plain text in the diagonal form:
Rail Fence Transposition Cipher
Now, following the second step we get our cipher text
Cipher Text = “rsnelkiha”
