1. Distinguish between substitutions and transposition ciphers.

S.N Substitution Cipher Technique Transposition Cipher Technique

1. In substitution Cipher Technique, plain In transposition Cipher Technique, plain text

text characters are replaced with other
characters, numbers and symbols.
2. Substitution Cipher’s forms are: Mono
alphabetic substitution cipher and poly
alphabetic substitution cipher.
3. In substitution Cipher Technique,
character’s identity is changed while its
position remains unchanged.
4. In substitution Cipher Technique, The
letter with low frequency can detect plain
text.
5. The example of substitution Cipher is
Caesar Cipher.
characters are rearranged with respect to the
position.
Transposition Cipher’s forms are: Key-less
transposition cipher and keyed transposition
cipher.
While in transposition Cipher Technique, The
position of the character is changed but
character’s identity is not changed.
While in transposition Cipher Technique, The
Keys which are nearer to correct key can
disclose plain text.
The example of transposition Cipher is Rail
Fence Cipher.

2. Benefits of polyalphabetic substitution cipher over mono alphabetic substitution cipher.

Ans. Under different alphabets, the same plain text character is thus encrypted to different cipher text characters,
preventing simple frequency analysis as per monoalphabetic substitution. Therefore, polyalphabetic cipher
techniques make the message more secure as compared to various other techniques. In monoalphabetic
substitution, the relationship between a character in the plain text to a character in the cipher text is always one-to-
one. In polyalphabetic substitution, each occurrence of a character may have a different substitute. The relationship
between a character in the plain text to a character in the cipher text is one-to-many.
