A Transposition Cipher is a type of cryptographic method that encrypts messages by rearranging the characters or symbols of the plaintext without altering the original letters themselves. Instead of replacing letters with different symbols (as in substitution ciphers), transposition ciphers focus on changing the order of the characters to conceal the message.

Tap Codes are a clever and secretive way of communicating using a series of taps or knocks. This form of communication was devised to facilitate discreet messaging, especially in situations where speaking aloud is not an option or could be overheard.

In the T9 system, each digit key on the phone keypad corresponds to a set of letters. By pressing the keys multiple times, you cycle through the letters associated with each key. The mapping of letters to the keypad digits is based on the arrangement of letters on a standard telephone keypad:

The Spiral Cipher is a method of encrypting messages by arranging the plaintext in a spiral pattern, typically on a grid or matrix. It is a type of transposition cipher, where the original letters of the message are preserved but rearranged in a specific order.

The Rout Cipher is a type of transposition cipher used to encrypt messages by rearranging the characters according to a specific pattern or route. It is a historical encryption method that predates modern cryptographic techniques and offers a basic level of security.

In the Rout Cipher, the plaintext is written into a grid or matrix row by row, following a predetermined route specified by the encryption key. The route could be a zigzag pattern, a winding path, or any agreed-upon sequence.
