Abstract
This article analyzes the decryption performance of a transposition cipher implemented in Python. Encryption and decryption times are compared, and the reasons for the increased computational costs during data recovery are identified. A frequency analysis of symbols is also considered, confirming the vulnerability of transposition ciphers to cryptanalytic methods, and an implementation error in the decryption algorithm is corrected.
