Question
Which of the following below describe transposition correctly?Select one:a.Method by which symbols in the plaintext are moved into different positions in the ciphertextb.Message symbols are mixed up with many other symbols c.Method by which symbols in the plaintext are replaced with different symbolsd.Method by which additional symbols are placed in the ciphertext
Solution
The correct answer is:
a. Method by which symbols in the plaintext are moved into different positions in the ciphertext
This is because transposition is a method of encryption where the positions held by units of plaintext (which are commonly characters or groups of characters) are shifted according to a regular system. The units may be single letters, pairs of letters, triplets of letters, mixtures of the above, etc. The plaintext is reordered to create the ciphertext.
