It (the bottom row wraps around to the top) ģ. If the letters appear in the same column - each is replaced with the one (the last column wraps around to the first) Ģ. If both letters are in the same row of key table, each is replaced by the letter to it's immediate Then each bigram is encrypted according to following rules:ġ. Message is broken up into pairs of letters (each pair must consist of two different letters, otherwise letter Playfair cipher used a 5x5 key table filled with 25 letters of English alphabet in random order (letter Let's remind ourselves of the encryption algorithm: Unlike other substitution ciphers that existed at the time, Playfair doesn't encrypt single letters - instead it works with pairs of letters, or

PLAYFAIR CIPHER MANUAL

Is a manual substitution cipher invented in 1854. To learn more about this cipher, check out

In this mission we'll try to break the Playfair cipher using known plaintext attack. Same way after performing above rules for whole the list of diagraph plain text, our cipher text will be generated.This is the fifth and final (for now) mission inspired by classical cryptography. The pair DE is in same row, so just choose the right next to each character from cipher key matrix. If both the letters are in the same row: Take the letter to the right of each one (going back to the leftmost if at the rightmost position) Our Second pair is "ES", so according to above rule it will be enciphered to its below character in same column. If both the letters are in the same column: Take the letter below each one (going back to the top if at the bottom). Similarly, pair OM will be enciphered to DR. Our first pair from plaintext is "AW", so A will be enciphered to S and W will enciphered to Y. If both letters are not in same column and not in same row then draw a imaginary rectangle shape and take letters on the horizontal opposite corner of the rectangle. Into Cipher text with the help of cipher key matrix, and following below listed rules. So our Plaintext Awesome Dev Community will beĮnter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Step:1 Convert plaintext into digraphs (i.e., into pair of two letters)

Encrypt plaintext using Cipher Key Matrix and get ciphertext.įor the rest of our discussion we will be using below mentioned Key and Plaintext:.

Convert plaintext into digraphs (i.e., into pair of two letters).

The Algorithm mainly consist of three steps: (Will get more idea as I explain you through.) * * * * * * * Also we can depict that it was first practical digraph substitution cipher.ĭigraph Cipher : It simply means that we encrypt the plaintext to ciphertext with two characters at a time. So what we can grasp from above is that, this algorithm was developed by Charles Wheatstone but bears the name as Lord Playfair promoted it. The scheme was invented in 1854 by Charles Wheatstone, but bears the name of Lord Playfair for promoting its use. The Playfair cipher or Playfair square or Wheatstone–Playfair cipher is a manual symmetric encryption technique and was the first literal digram substitution cipher.

This is going to be two or three part series where I'm going to explain the theory behind the Playfair cipher and how we can program it using most probably everyone's favourite language 🥁🥁🥁 ( "DRUM ROLLS") Python, Yay!!
