    The experiment aims to implement a product cipher using substitution and transposition ciphers. It explains that a substitution cipher replaces plaintext units with cipher text according to a fixed system, while a transposition cipher reorders the plaintext units. A product cipher combines multiple transformations to increase security. The program takes an input, encrypts it using a substitution cipher that shifts each character by 5, then a transposition cipher that reorders the characters in a matrix based on a user-input number. It decrypts the output back to plaintext using the reverse transformations.

    Aim: Implementation of a product cipher using Substitution and Transposition ciphers

    Theory:

    A substitution cipher is a method of encrypting by which units of plaintext are replaced with
    cipher text, according to a fixed system; the "units" may be single letters (the most common),
    pairs of letters, triplets of letters, mixtures of the above, and so forth. The receiver deciphers
    the text by performing the inverse substitution.

    A transposition cipher is methods of encryption by which the positions held by units of


    plaintext (which are commonly characters or groups of characters) are shifted according to a
    regular system, so that the cipher text constitutes a permutation of the plaintext. That is, the
    order of the units is changed (the plaintext is reordered). Mathematically a bijective function
    is used on the characters' positions to encrypt and an inverse function to decrypt.

    In cryptography, a product cipher combines two or more transformations in a manner


    intending that the resulting cipher is more secure than the individual components to make it
    resistant to cryptanalysis. The product cipher combines a sequence of simple transformations
    such as substitution (S-box), permutation (P-box), and modular arithmetic.

    Program:

    import java.util.*;

    class ProductCipher
    {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
    System.out.println("Enter the input to be encrypted:");
    String substitutionInput = new Scanner(System.in).nextLine();
    System.out.println("Enter a number:");
    int n = new Scanner(System.in).nextInt();
    // Substitution encryption
    StringBuffer substitutionOutput = new StringBuffer();
    for(int i=0 ; i<substitutionInput.length() ; i++)
    {
    char c = substitutionInput.charAt(i);
    substitutionOutput.append((char) (c+5));
    }
    System.out.println("\nSubstituted text:");
    System.out.println(substitutionOutput);

    // Transposition encryption
    String transpositionInput = substitutionOutput.toString();
    int modulus;
    if((modulus = transpositionInput.length()%n) != 0)
    {
    modulus = n-modulus;
    // ‘modulus’ is now the number of blanks/padding (X) to be appended
    for(int a=modulus;a!=0;a--)
    {
    transpositionInput +="/";
    }
    }
    StringBuffer transpositionOutput = new StringBuffer();
    System.out.println("\nTransposition Matrix:");
    for(int i=0 ; i<n ; i++)
    {
    for(int j=0 ; j<transpositionInput.length()/n ; j++)
    {
    char c = transpositionInput.charAt(i+(j*n));
    System.out.print(c);
    transpositionOutput.append(c);
    }
    System.out.println();
    }
    System.out.println("\nFinal encrypted text:");
    System.out.println(transpositionOutput);

    // Transposition decryption
    n = transpositionOutput.length()/n;
    StringBuffer transpositionPlaintext = new StringBuffer();
    for(int i=0 ; i<n ; i++)
    {
    for(int j=0 ; j<transpositionOutput.length()/n ; j++)
    {
    char c = transpositionOutput.charAt(i+(j*n));
    transpositionPlaintext.append(c);
    }
    }
    }
    }
