Question 3
Which of the following substitution technique have the relationship between a character in the plain text and a character in the ciphertext as one-to-many ?
A
Monoalphabetic
B
Polyalphabetic
C
Transpositional
D
None of the above
Question 3 Explanation: 
Monoalphabetic Substitution: The relationship between a character in the plaintext and a character in the ciphertext is always one-to-one
Polyalphabetic Substitution: This is an improvement over the Caesar cipher. In polyalphabetic substitution, each occurrence of a character may have a different substitute. Here the relationship between a character in the plaintext and a character in the ciphertext is always one-to-many.
Transposition Cipher: The transposition cipher, the characters remain unchanged but their positions are changed to create the ciphertext. A transposition cipher does not substitute one symbol for another, instead it changes the location of the symbols. A transposition cipher reorders symbols.
