Talk:Straddling checkerboard

The Wikipedia page implies that the order of the digits 0-9 can also be scrambled to improve security. To make the task more complete but not much more complicated, I think it would make sense to also provide numbers to the function in the desired order. To leave the existing cipher for the example valid, the inputs to the StraddlingCheckerboard function would become ("0123456789HOLMESRTABCDFGIJKNPQUVWXYZ./", 3, 7) --Tikkanz 15:05, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

You mean the order of the columns? Changing the order of the columns would be the same as rearranging each of the rows. Since you can input the whole alphabet in any order (as opposed to just a keyword to get things started, for example), it wouldn't add anything new. MagiMaster 19:44, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
