Dear all,

I got a question about the playfair cipher. to encypt the word 'try',
we are going to segment it into 'tr yx', then encrypt according to the
matrix. what about the word 'box'? if we do the same thing, the
seconde segment will be 'xx' and which is not good. so what should we
do in this case?


Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Becky
