ZigZag

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.

The Rail Fence Cipher is a transposition cipher that rearranges the letters of a message to create a new encrypted message. It gets its name from the way the letters are written in a zigzag pattern that resembles a fence made of rails.

Here's how the Rail Fence Cipher works:
