Python ASCII Encryption

This Python script demonstrates a simple ASCII-based encryption algorithm. It converts alphabetic characters to their ASCII numerical values, applies a secret number for encryption, and allows decryption using the same secret number.

Getting Started

To get started, clone or download the repository:

git clone https://github.com/KalyanMurapaka45/Python-ASCII-Encryption
cd Python-ASCII-Encryption

Basics

ASCII encryption involves converting alphabetic characters to ASCII numerical values and using a secret number for encryption and decryption.

• Encrypting:

  a -> 97 -> 97 (+|-) secret_number -> new character
  

  Let's say our secret number is 5:

  a -> 97 -> 97 + 5 -> f
  

• Decrypting:

  f -> 102 -> 102 (+|-) secret_number -> decrypted character
  

  Since we know the secret number is 5:

  f -> 102 -> 102 - 5 > a
  

Implementation

The repository includes two functions, encrypt and decrypt, which perform ASCII-based encryption and decryption. They take a text input and a secret number for encryption and return the encrypted text. Decryption requires specifying the secret number and the encrypted text.

Demo

from algorithms import encrypt, decrypt

army_text = "Throw the missiles at 9pm"
print(encrypt(army_text, key=10))
# Output: '^r|y\x81*~ro*ws}}svo}*k~*Czw'

print(decrypt('^r|y\x81*~ro*ws}}svo}*k~*Czw', key=10))
# Output: 'Throw the missiles at 9pm'
