Target entity: Square cipher
Context triple: [Rijndael, relatedTo, Square cipher]

• A. Playfair
  Playfair is a Scottish surname most notably associated with John Playfair, an 18th–19th century mathematician and geologist known for popularizing geometry and scientific ideas.
• B. Alberti cipher disk
  The Alberti cipher disk is a 15th-century polyalphabetic substitution device, considered one of the earliest mechanical tools for encrypting messages and a foundational innovation in modern cryptography.
• C. Baconian method
  The Baconian method is a systematic approach to scientific inquiry that emphasizes empirical observation, experimentation, and inductive reasoning to derive general principles from particular facts.
• D. Atbash
  Atbash is a classical Hebrew substitution cipher that encodes text by reversing the alphabet so that each letter is replaced by its counterpart from the opposite end.
• E. Cipher
