I haven't looked at the code but the functionality that's listed is useful, e.g. in a Usenet client, and it's fun to play around with for a beginner. Also, for example, Christian Heimes wrote else-thread: �Your work should be interesting for everybody who has read Simon Sing's "The Code Book: The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum"� (and I for one have that book). Cheers, - Alf

I neither did look at the code, but as a beginner with just 3 years of experience in Python, I've tried several scrambling libs, for a quick and dirty use. All were much too difficult, so I made my own xor-something. Coming from Delphi, a scrambling lib is working is less than 10 minutes, without the need of any knowledge of encryption. I prefer Python over Delphi, but some things are made very complex in Python. cheers, Stef > > Also, for example, Christian Heimes wrote else-thread: �Your work > should be interesting for everybody who has read Simon Sing's "The > Code Book: The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum"� (and > I for one have that book). > > > Cheers, > > - Alf

Are you sure? >>> def xor(s, key): .... return ''.join(chr(ord(c)^key) for c in s) .... >>> txt = "Hello world!" >>> xor(txt, 123) '3\x1e\x17\x17\x14[\x0c\x14\t\x17\x1fZ' >>> xor(_, 123) 'Hello world!' The Delphi code would be certainly longer than that, some variation of: function encrypt_xor(const s: string; key: integer); var i: integer; begin SetLength(Result, length(s)); for i:=1 to length(s) do begin Result[i] := chr(ord(s[i]) xor key); end; end; (untested) -- Gabriel Genellina |
