CSC 1019 Module 6 Project

Overview

In this project, you will individually:

• Develop a Python program that implements at least two encryption algorithms,
  • Each algorithm should have two functions, one to encrypt and one to decrypt
    • The functions should have a docstring and comments where needed
  • The algorithms can be of any cipher or encryption. Some examples of ciphers:
    • Caesar Cipher: you must implement a Caesar Cipher brute force breaker function that will count for the encryption/decryption
    • Monoalphabetic Substitution (each letter is replaced by the same letter)
    • Vigenere
    • Affine Cipher
    • Transposition
    • XOR w/ one-time pad
    • Some other cipher you find or a special one you invent yourself
• In a PORTFOLIO.md markdown file, you will describe each algorithm, provide examples of clear text and cipher text, and describe any weaknesses the cipher has.

Tasks

1. Implement your algorithms using the project benchmark organizer as a guide. Your program should ask the user whether they want to encrypt or decrypt and then prompt them for the appropriate text.

2. Document your functions in the PORTFOLIO.md file. Be sure to include clear examples of clear text and cipher text. Also describe any weaknesses the cipher has.
