C++ Program to Encrypt Message using Playfair Cipher

This C++ program encodes any message using the technique of traditional playfair cipher. Input is not case sensitive and works only for characters from ‘a’ to ‘z’ and ‘A’ to ‘Z’. White spaces are ignored.

This C++ program is successfully compiled and tested on our system. The program output is given below.
