Scytale Cipher
The ciphertext is the unwrapped parchment, and the plaintext is the parchment wrapped around the wooden object. So, when you enter ciphertext and press decrypt, think of this as wrapping the parchment around the wooden object. You read the plaintext by rotating the baton row-by-row. When you enter plaintext and press encrypt, think of this as the encryption process where the parchment unwraps from the wooden object, showing only a bunch of nonsequitur letters. Press the Random button for examples.
