1) Encrypt the plain text “miss Carlet with the knife in the library” with the key =3201 using
row Transportation technique.

Plain Text (without spaces):

MissCarletwiththeknifeinthelibrary
Now, we arrange this into a grid with 4 columns:
3 2 0 1
-------------
m i s s
C a r l
e t w i
t h t h
e k n i
f e n t
h e l i
b r a r
y x x x

Step 2: Read the columns in the order of the key (3, 2, 0, 1)

We now read the columns in the order dictated by the key, which is 3, 2, 0, 1:

 Column 3 (4th column): s, l, i, h, i, t, i, r, x

 Column 2 (3rd column): r, t, w, t, n, e, l, a
 Column 0 (1st column): m, C, e, t, f, h, b, y
 Column 1 (2nd column): s, a, e, h, k, n, r, x

Final Ciphertext:

Reading these columns in order:
