- Another related weakness of transposition ciphers is that
- multiple annagramming may be possible on a single message,
- due to regularities in the transposition. If there are
- no regularities at all, we have a key as long as the
- message and thus a sort of one-time-transposition. For
- messages longer than a few tens of characters this would
- be unbreakable, but less convenient than the equally strong
- ordinary one-time cipher.
