WordScrambler2001

A (fairly simple) monoalphabetic substitution cipher

This cipher works by replacing every letter in a string with the corresponding letter in the key alphabet, adding a changing offset.

Use cases

• no

Installation

1. Contemplate your life choices
2. Download the repository using git clone https://github.com/Syrapt0r/WordScrambler2001
3. Open the project in your favourite IDE

Usage

There are two ways to use the program.

Standalone Mode:

1. Compile and run the program.
2. Provide the message you want to encrypt.
3. Provide your key. If you leave this blank, a random key will be generated.
4. Enter your shifting values. They determine the way the algorithm shifts the individual letters.
5. Select a mode.
6. Select if your output should be Base64 encoded.
7. Select if you want to enable verbose logging

Command Line Mode:

Call the program using WordScrambler2001.exe <parameters>

Command Line Parameters:

Parameter	Optional Parameter	Meaning	Optional
--encrypt	-e	Encryption Mode	No
--decrypt	-d	Decryption Mode	No
--message	-m	Message to en-/decrypt	No
--key	-k	Cipher Key	Yes
--initial-shift	-i	Initial Cipher Shift	No
--shift-value	-s	Cipher Shift Value	No
--base64	-b64	Whether Input/Output is in Base64	Yes
--verbose	-v	Activate verbose logging	Yes

Roadmap

• Add parameter mode
• Add spaces / special characters
• Add Base64 to parameter mode
• Improve parameter mode overall
• Improve algorithm safety
