Actual exam question for Eccouncil's ECSS exam
Question #: 91
Topic #: 6
[All ECSS Questions]

Kevin, a security team member, was instructed to share a policy document with the employees. As it was supposed to be shared within the network, he used a simple algorithm to encrypt the document that just rearranges the same characters to produce the ciphertext.

Identify the type of cipher employed by Kevin in the above scenario.

Haha, I bet Kevin got this idea from a cartoon he watched. 'Just rearrange the letters, that'll keep 'em safe!' Clearly, he needs to brush up on his cryptography skills.

Hold on, did Kevin really use a simple algorithm? Sounds like he might have just swapped the characters around without any real encryption. What a slacker!

He should have used a more secure method like a block cipher instead.

Kevin probably used a substitution cipher, just rearranging characters.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Rearranging characters could also be a substitution cipher, where each character is replaced with another. I'll have to think this one through a bit more.

Ah, I think Kevin used a transposition cipher. The question mentions he just rearranged the characters to produce the ciphertext, which is the defining characteristic of a transposition cipher.

Transposition cipher is a type of encryption where the positions of the characters are rearranged to create the ciphertext.
