Question

Rail fence technique is an example of:

• A. Substitution Cipher
• B. Transposition Cipher
• C. Product Cipher
• D. Caesar Cipher

Hint:

Transposition ciphers rearrange characters without altering them, as in the rail fence technique.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The rail fence technique is a transposition cipher. It rearranges plaintext characters using a specific pattern, such as a zigzag, to form the ciphertext. Unlike substitution ciphers, this method reorders characters without altering them.
