Example

1. Double Transposition Cipher encoder

Text : ABCD efghi 1234
Key1 : key
Key2 : word
Remove Special Characters (except a-z0-9) : True

Solution:

The double transposition cipher applies on columnar transposition cipher twice with two keys

Columnar transposition on Plaintext using Key1 : key

Write the plaintext in row-by-row

k 2	e 1	y 3
a	b	c
d	e	f
g	h	i
1	2	3
4	_	_

The columns are sorted alphabetically, based on the keyword and the new table is

e 1	k 2	y 3
b	a	c
e	d	f
h	g	i
2	1	3
_	4	_

Columnar transposition on this Ciphertext-1 using Key2 : word

Write the plaintext in row-by-row

w 4	o 2	r 3	d 1
b	e	h	2
a	d	g	1

The columns are sorted alphabetically, based on the keyword and the new table is

d 1	o 2	r 3	w 4
2	e	h	b
1	d	g	a
i	c	f	4
_	_	_	3
