Rail Fence Cipher

Visualize zig-zag transposition patterns and encoded output.

Input

Encrypt or decrypt zig-zag transposition text with a configurable rail count.

  • Use at least 2 rails for a meaningful transform.
  • Higher rail counts create denser transposition patterns.
  • Spacing is preserved in the backend transformation.
