Adding `cipher_crypt` library as a dependency

Run this command in a terminal, in your project's directory:

cargo add cipher-crypt

To add it manually, edit your project's Cargo.toml file and add to the [dependencies] section:

cipher-crypt = "0.18.0"

The cipher_crypt library will be automatically available globally. Read the cipher_crypt library documentation.

Readme

Cipher-crypt

A library of historic cryptographic algorithms implemented in rust.

Usage

Importing this crypt of ciphers is as easy as adding the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
cipher-crypt = "^0.16"

Using the crate as such:

extern crate cipher_crypt;

use cipher_crypt::{Cipher, Caesar};

fn main(){
  let m2 = "Attack at dawn 🗡️";
  let c = Caesar::new(3);
  assert_eq!(m2, c.decrypt(&c.encrypt(m2).unwrap()).unwrap());
}

Ciphers

The crypt only contains a few ciphers, but with time (and your help) it will have even more! A list of what is planned for the future and what is currently implemented is as follows.

ADFGVX
Affine
Autokey
Baconian
Caesar
Columnar Transposition
Fractionated Morse
Hill
Playfair
Polybius Square
Porta
Rail-fence
ROT13
Scytale
Vigenère
Bifid
Four-Square
Homophonic
Straddle Checkerboard
Trifid

Contributions

Contributions are extremely welcome. A good place to start would be helping to implement new algorithms. General cleanup and improvements of the code would also be greatly appreciated.

Disclaimer

There's a reason these archaic methods are no longer used - its because they are extremely easy to crack! Intended for learning purposes only, these ciphers should not be used to encrypt data of any real value.
