A transportation cipher, often referred to as a transposition cipher, is a method of encryption where the positions of the characters in the plaintext are rearranged according to a specific system or key, rather than substituting characters with others. This results in a scrambled output that retains the original characters but alters their order, making it challenging to decipher without the key. Common techniques include columnar transposition and rail fence ciphers. The security of this method relies on the complexity of the reordering process.
