// This system isn't cryptographically secure for practical purposes. The value of p (91744613) is as large as JS can handle natively, but is still much too small. Please don't use it as-is for anything that actually needs to be secured. If you want to make it secure, I would suggest building functions that can handle larger numbers abstractly, or using a BigNum library; then set p to a much larger prime (hundreds of digits).

Hey. I wanted to use this code with a smaller set of alphabets. Changing the Alphabet variable creates issues: the encrypted message is no longer divisible by 8 because Math.floor(x/p) returns an index more than that within the Alphabet array. Could you explain how to fix this? Thanks.

Values used:
var Alphabet="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 0123456789'(!#$%^_)*+,-";
var message = "An even longer message";
