Visually similar to the 'Polybius Square' Cypher, the Playfair Cypher is a modern implementation of a Victorian-era Military text encryption system.

Invented in 1854 by Charles Wheatstone, it is named in honour of Lord Playfair, who popularized its use for military purposes.
it transforms pairs of letters by arranging the alphabet into a 5x5 grid (usually combining "I" and "J" so that all 26 letters can fit into only 25 cells.)

The 'Polybius Square' Cypher System is a modern implementation of a classic text encryption system.

Credited to (and named after) the historian Polybius, it transforms letters into numerical coordinates by arranging the alphabet into a 5x5 grid (usually combining "I" and "J" so that all 26 letters can fit into only 25 cells.)

Need a secure password for your laptop (or similar), but need to be able to memorise it?
You need the new Memorable Secure Password Generator in the Computing Tools Section

This highly-configurable tool suggests passwords made up of multiple small words, (chosen from a list of approximately twenty thousand), rather than the un-recognisable random characters some other tools suggest.

If your password doesn't need to be memorable, you should use the Secure / Random Password Generator instead.

The Factorial Number Generator has been updated to record the number of digits of the largest Factorial calculated in each series. This number grows really fast.

The Parallelogram Dimensions calculator has had an update. It now has over fifty-five separate formulae built in to it, letting you calculate all eleven dimensions of a parallelogram even if you only know three or four.

The Temporal section has had another update: the World Time Analogue Clock makes it easy to keep track of the time of day across the world, helping to avoid awkwardness due to late-night calls or missed meetings!

The Periodic Table reference has had another wee update,linking the Legend to the table itself making it easier than ever to understand the full set of chemical elements.

The Simple Prime Number Series Generator has had an update, to allow you to calculate a single, specific Prime Number, whether that is the 9th or the Nine hundred and ninety ninth.

New Tools & Calculators

Calculate speed, distance or acceleration for an object, without knowing Time, with the new Velocity-Displacement Calculator (also known as The Third Equation of Motion).

The latest tool in the two-dimensional shapes section is the Right-Angled Triangles calculator.
It instantly calculates all dimensions of a right-angled triangle (sides, angles, area, and perimeter) for any problem across various professional and personal fields.

The latest new tool instantly Calculates all possible factors of a given number
Finding the factors of an integer is a fundamental concept in mathematics with several practical applications across various fields, such as 'Simplification of Fractions', and for 'Prime Factorisation'.
Factors play a role in modular arithmetic, which is used in computer science, cryptography, and error-correcting codes
