Encrypts or decrypts a message using the Myszkowski Transposition cipher.
Source library: secretpy
Historical Context
The Myszkowski transposition cipher is a variant of the columnar transposition cipher. It was invented by Émile Victor Théodore Myszkowski.
How it Works
The Myszkowski transposition cipher is similar to the columnar transposition cipher, but with a modification in how repeated letters in the key are handled. This creates a more irregular transposition.
