Final answer:

False. Transposition does not rely on the length of the password. It is a cryptographic technique where characters in a message are rearranged to form a new message.

Step-by-step explanation:

False

Transposition does not rely on the length of the password. It is a cryptographic technique where the characters in a message are rearranged to form a new message. The length of the password is not a factor in transposition. It is the arrangement and manipulation of the characters that make it secure.

For example, let's say we have the word 'HELLO'. If we use a transposition technique called columnar transposition and rearrange the letters, we could get 'HLEOL'. The password length is not considered in this process.
