Cipher

Kourun Sok; Ciaran Downey; Stratton Aguilar

Notes

Because the Playfair cipher (ciphers/playfair.py) doesn’t handle repeated letters or 'X’s very well (i.e. it’s a "lossy" cipher), our unit tests are set to report false if there’s a discrepency between the original plaintext and the generated plaintext of more than 10% (measured per-character).
