scytale

This can be used to encrypt and decrypt a
Scytale cipher. A Scytale cipher is an ancient form of cryptography that wraps a message (typically written
on a long thing piece of paper) around a device to create a matrix with a fixed number of columns that transposes
the text.

Playfair, Four-Square, Scytale, Columnar Transposition and Autokey methods. Further explanation on methods of classical cryptography can be found at Wikipedia; (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_cipher>).

scytale function

<dl><dt>message</dt>
<dd>A character vector</dd>
<dt>col</dt>
<dd>A positive integer, this determines the number of columns in the encryption matrix. 1 column will have no effect</dd>
<dt>encrypt</dt>
<dd>(Default: <code>TRUE</code>) TRUE will encrypt the message, while FALSE will decrypt the message.</dd></dl>
