Yes, thank you for the explanation! It could also be a nice replacement
for SCOS, here in sci.crypt, combined with an A-Z encoder/decoder and a
padding program, since SCOS was cracked and floating around on Bitmessage
and code for seriation I have not seen yet elsewhere.

As an example:

$ echo "I wish the sci.crypt community a nice weekend!" | pad -p 64 \
| az -l 16 > message.txt

$ cat message.txt

Maybe worth a little challenge, to have such a
format for sci.crypt, with an AZ encoder, a pad
and seriation program. :-)

P.S. I have figured out the encryption/decrption
process for Doppelkastenschlüssel. :-) (Did not
had enough coffee ... :-D)
