Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A transposition-based cipher involves rearranging the plaintext without changing the actual letters used, whereas a substitution-based cipher replaces the letters with different letters or symbols. In a transposition-based cipher, the order of the letters is changed, making it harder to decipher without knowledge of the exact method used to rearrange them.
