	John Playfair - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		JOHN PLAYFAIR (1748-1819), Scottish mathematician and physicist, was born at Benvie, Forfarshire, where his father was parish minister, on the 10th of March 1748.
		In 1785 when Dugald Stewart succeeded Ferguson in the Edinburgh chair of moral philosophy, Playfair succeeded the former in that of mathematics.
		Playfair's contributions to pure mathematics were not considerable, his paper "On the Arithmetic of Impossible Quantities," that "On the Causes which affect the Accuracy of Barometrical Measurements," and his Elements of Geometry, all already referred to, being the most important.

	Encyclopedia: Playfair-cipher (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The Playfair cipher or Playfair square is a manual symmetric encryption technique and was the first literal digraph substitution cipher.
		The Playfair is thus significantly harder to break since the frequency analysis used for simple substitution ciphers does not work with it.
		Cryptanalysis of Playfair is similar to that of four-square and two-square ciphers, though the relative simplicity of the Playfair system makes identifying candidate plaintext strings easier.
