Experiment 8

RAIL FENCE CIPHER


AIM
Implement transposition cipher algorithm- Rail Fence Cipher

PROGRAM
# Rail fence implementation in python
def RailFence(text, key):
rail = [['\n' for i in range(len(text))] for j in range(key)]
down = False
row, col = 0,0

for i in range(len(text)):
if(row==0)or(row==key-1):
down = not down
rail[row][col] = text[i]
col += 1
if down:
row += 1
else:
row -= 1
encrypt = []
for i in range(key):
for j in range(len(text)):
if rail[i][j] != '\n':
encrypt.append(rail[i][j])
return("".join(encrypt))

def main():
print("-- Rail Fence Cipher (Encryption) --")
text = input("Enter the plain text: ")
key = int(input("Enter the key value: "))
print("Encrypted text: ", RailFence(text, key))

main()
OUTPUT

RESULT
Successfully implemented transposition cipher algorithm- Rail Fence Cipher.
