Abstract

The Play fair cipher is a popular poly alphabetic encryption.It mathematically secures information by encrypting the message with a key.The same key is used to change cipher text diagrams into plain text diagrams during decryption.However, only 25 capital alphabets can be supported by the original 5 x 5 play fair cipher.The play fair cipher’s current approaches are researched.The suggested method circumvents the limitations of past studies that used a play fair cipher using a 5x5 matrix, 7x4 matrix, and 6x6 matrix.The suggested technique utilises a 16x16 matrix and provides strength for fair cipher play.The suggested work is an improvement to the current technique that makes use of matrix rolling, shifting, and rotation.It uses alphabets, both lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, and special characters to build the matrix’s content.
