Important
These ciphers are not secure by modern cryptographic standards. Techniques such as frequency analysis can easily break them.
Cryptic is a lightweight ciphering tool implemented in Python, designed to explore and demonstrate basic ciphering techniques.
This project aims to implement simple ciphering techniques and deepen understanding of their mechanics without relying on external libraries.
Cryptic supports the following ciphering algorithms:
- Caesar Cipher: Define your desired shift value.
- Atbash Cipher: Keys are dynamically generated using a formula based on the plaintext's length.
- XOR Cipher: A fixed, straightforward substitution cipher.
Note
Kindly ensure you have Python 3, pip and git installed on your machine.
