Dive into classical cryptography with Explerify's Playfair Cipher Simulator. This interactive tool lets students explore encryption and decryption using the Playfair cipher.
Enter a plaintext message and a keyword, then see how the message is encrypted using digraphs and the Playfair rules. Change the keyword to decrypt messages back to plaintext. Visualize how the 5×5 key matrix works and how rectangle swaps affect encryption.
Ideal for high school and undergraduate students, this simulator helps build intuition about classical encryption techniques, digraph-based encryption, and secure communication concepts.
