This tool allows you to encode and decode messages using the Rail Fence Cipher, a classic form of transposition cipher. Perfect for cryptography enthusiasts and students.
Encoded/Decoded Message:
Tutti i calcoli si basano rigorosamente sulle formule e sui dati forniti da PlanetCalc.
The Rail Fence Cipher works by writing your message diagonally over a set number of "rails".
To encode "HELLO" with 3 rails, write it diagonally over 3 lines and then read off each line in sequence.
The Rail Fence Cipher is a form of transposition cipher that gets its name from the way in which encryption is performed.
To use the Rail Fence Cipher, input your message and specify the number of rails.
While interesting, the Rail Fence Cipher is not secure by modern standards.
Yes, by using the same number of rails used for encoding, you can decode a message.
It is mainly used for educational purposes and simple encoding tasks.
