Instructions
You can decode ( decode ) or encode ( code ) your message with your key. If you do n’t have any key, you can try to car clear ( break ) your cipher .
Settings
- Language: The language determines the letters and statistics used for decoding, encoding and auto solving.
- Min/Max Key Length: This is the search range for keys when auto solving a cipher.
- Max Results: This is the maximum number of results you will get from auto solving.
- Spacing Mode: This is about the spaces (word breaks) in the text. In most cases it should be set to Automatic. In case a specific letter (for instance X) is used as word separator, set it to Substitute.

Features
- The double transposition cipher is an example of transposition cipher.
- Until the VIC cipher, the double transposition cipher was considered as the most complicated cipher that an agent could operate reliably by hand.
- It can encrypt any characters, including spaces and punctuation, but security is increased if spacing and punctuation is removed.
-
The message does not always fill up the whole transposition grid. The remaining of the transposition grid can then optionally be filled with a padding
character, or left blank. -
If the same key is used for encrypting multiple messages of the same length, they can be compared and attacked using a method called “multiple anagramming”,
finding solutions to both.
