Cryptography Programming
« on: July 10, 2007, 03:28:42 PM »
I have a program which enciphers a plaintext message using a K2 key using simple substitution.  It is available to anyone who would like to have a copy of their own.  Just e-mail me at:  archieb42164@yahoo.com and I will send it as an attachment.  If anyone is interested in programming enciphering or deciphering  applications,  we can start a group in which we exchange code and techniques.

I once programmed quite a few of the simpler ciphers in Linux, though I'm sure that encrypter/decrypter programs with expansive functionality already exist. Still, it would be nice to make something which has many possible choices for encrpytion and decryption and maybe throw in a few new ones or uncommon methods. That way one could quickly take a block of text and try multiple methods of cracking the cipher with ease.

Dutch, that sounds great. We need more encyphering and decyphering.   Also exchanging techniqueswas one of the reasoons that I joined here. Please send it to me.

forgive my ignorance, but what is a K2 key?

That's a good question... I don't rightly know. Google doesn't seem to be helping. Hopefully Dutch can clarify.

A K2 keyword is where the plain alphabet is the normal alphabet in standard sequence and the cipher alphabet has the keyword.

P:  ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
c:   BCDFGHJKLMOQRTUWYZEXPNSIVA

I hope that this answer and example will help.  Sorry for any confusion.

Ah, I see. So it's just substitution with a known keyword somewhere in the cipher key.

I wrote an RSA encryption program in Python.  Ke and Kd (the public and private keys) are created from primes of at least 100 digits.

The encryption interface is pretty easy to use.  There is a box to put in plaintext and a button to encrypt it, which is dependent on who you are sending the encryption to (theoretically, everyone has a unique public/private key set).  The encrypted numerical string is output into another box.  This is what you send the intended recipient.

The decryption interface works the same way, only inverse to the encryption interface. 

If anyone is interested in having this program to use for yourself, email me at: hanieldardin@writing.com.
