Transposition

T
// transposition.go
// description: Transposition cipher
// details:
// Implementation "Transposition cipher" is a method 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 ciphertext constitutes a permutation of the plaintext [Transposition cipher](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transposition_cipher)
