Rail Fence Cipher Java Program

A simple Java implementation of the Rail Fence Cipher, a transposition cipher that encrypts messages by arranging the characters in a zigzag pattern across multiple rails.

Features

• Encrypts plaintext using the Rail Fence Cipher
• Decrypts ciphertext back to plaintext
• Customizable number of rails

How to Use

1. Clone or download this repository.
2. Compile the Java program:

javac RailFenceCipherSystem.java

3. Run the program:

java RailFenceCipherSystem

Follow the prompts to enter your message and choose the number of rails for encryption or decryption.

• Intuitive GUI: Easy-to-use interface for encryption and decryption
• Customizable Rails: Choose the number of rails for the cipher
