Classical cryptography-line replacement Encryption

In many textbooks, the definitions of line replacement passwords and column replacement passwords are not exactly the same, and even the core ideas are fundamentally different. Based on my own learning experience, I will briefly introduce a so-called "line replacement password" algorithm in some textbooks. We will discuss and discuss it together.

 

Using this encryption method, the plaintext is written in a matrix by line, while the plaintext is generated by reading in a predetermined order by column. For example, if the matrix contains four columns and five rows, the plaintext "encryption algorithm" (after spaces are omitted) can be written to the matrix as follows:

2	3	1	4
E	N	C	R
Y	P	T	I
O	N	A	L
G	O	R	I
T	H	M	S

 

 

Read columns in a certain order to generate ciphertext. For this example, if the read order is incremental, the plaintext is "ctarm eyogt npnoh rilis" (adding spaces for observation ). The encryption key is the number of columns and the order of reading columns. If there are many columns, it may be difficult to remember, so it can be expressed as a keyword. The length of this keyword is equal to the number of columns, and its alphabetic order determines the order of reading columns. For example, the keyword "general" has seven letters, meaning that the matrix has seven columns. Because "a" is the lowest in the "general", the number 1 is placed in the 6th column; from left to right, the first "e" is followed, so the number 2 is placed in the 2nd column; the second "e" is to place the number 3 in the 4th column. The final order is as follows: g e n e r a l 4 2 6 3 7 1 5 _______________________________________________________________________ This scheme is to write the message in a rectangle, row by row, and read the message off, column by column, but permute the order of the columns. the order of the columns then becomes the key to the algorithm. for example, Key: 4 3 1 2 5 6 7 Plaintext: a t a c k p o s t p o n E d u n t I l t w o a m x y z Ciphertext: ttna aptm tsuo aodw coix knly petz (again, spaces are only for observation) Thus, in this example, the key is 4312567.To encrypt, start with the column that is labeled 1, in this case column 3. write down all the letters in that column. **************************************** **************************************** * ***** the preceding is an encryption, you can also use the ciphertext as the plaintext of a new round of encryption, and replace the encrypted line again.
