### Transposition
<<<<<<< HEAD

In cryptography, a **transposition cipher** is a method of encryption by which the positions held by units of plaintext (which are commonly characters or groups of characters) are shifted according to a regular system, so that the ciphertext constitutes a permutation of the plaintext. That is, the order of the units is changed (the plaintext is reordered).<br>

The **Transposition cipher** is a method of encryption by which the positions held by units of *plaintext* (which are commonly characters or groups of characters) are shifted according to a regular system, so that the *ciphertext* constitutes a permutation of the plaintext.

Mathematically a bijective function is used on the characters' positions to encrypt and an inverse function to decrypt.
