Chinese (Traditional)

中國式密碼是一種移項式密碼，將訊息的字母由右而左、上下交替排列，最後將排列出的結果從左到右，一列一列寫出，成為密文。
例如我們現在要來加密「The rabbit is cute.」這個句子，就將句中的字母依序由上寫到下，第二行則由下寫到上，第三行再由上往下寫，以此類推。
 — The rabbit is cute.
最後寫出每一列的文字，成為密文「UCBBT TSIAH EITRE」。
絕大多數的移位式密碼都採用與之類似的手法，重新排列字母的行或列，然後有系統地移動字母。

English

Chinese cipher is a type of a transposition cipher. The letters of the message are written from right to left, down and up columns to scramble the letters. Then, starting in the first row, the letters are taken in order to get the new ciphertext.
For example, if the message needed to be enciphered is "The rabbit is cute," then we write the alphabets from up to down, and the second column from down to up, the third column from up to down, and so on.
The rabbit is cute.
At last, we write the whole alphabets in each row as "UCBBT TSIAH EITRE."
Most transposition ciphers use similar methods to rearrange the row or column of the alphabets, and the move the alphabet systematically.
