C++ Program to Decrypt Message using Playfair Cipher

 

 

This C++ program decodes any message encoded using the technique of traditional playfair cipher. The Playfair cipher or Playfair square is a manual symmetric encryption technique and was the first literal digraph substitution cipher. Input is not case sensitive and works only for characters from ‘a’ to ‘z’ and ‘A’ to ‘Z’.

 

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