pub struct Baconian { /* fields omitted */ }

This struct is created by the new() method. See its documentation for more.

Trait Implementations

impl Cipher for Baconian

type Key = (bool, Option<String>)

type Algorithm = Baconian

fn new(key: (bool, Option<String>)) -> Result<Baconian, &'static str>

Initialise a Baconian cipher

The key tuple maps to the following: (bool, Option<str>) = (use_distinct_alphabet, decoy_text).

Where ...

• The encoding will be use_distinct_alphabet for all alphabetical characters, or classical where I, J, U and V are mapped to the same value pairs
• An optional decoy message that will will be used to hide the message - default is boilerplate "Lorem ipsum" text.

fn encrypt(&self, message: &str) -> Result<String, &'static str>

Encrypt a message using the Baconian cipher

• The message to be encrypted can only be ~18% of the decoy_text as each character of message is encoded by 5 encoding characters AAAAA, AAAAB, etc.
• The italicised ciphertext is then hidden in a decoy text, where, for each 'B' in the ciphertext, the character is italicised in the decoy_text.

Examples

Basic usage:

use cipher_crypt::{Cipher, Baconian};

let b = Baconian::new((false, None)).unwrap();
let message = "Hello";
let cipher_text = "Lo𝘳𝘦𝘮 ip𝘴um d𝘰l𝘰𝘳 s𝘪t 𝘢𝘮e𝘵, 𝘤𝘰n";

assert_eq!(cipher_text, b.encrypt(message).unwrap());

fn decrypt(&self, message: &str) -> Result<String, &'static str>

Decrypt a message that was encrypted with the Baconian cipher

Examples

Basic usage:

use cipher_crypt::{Cipher, Baconian};

let b = Baconian::new((false, None)).unwrap();
let cipher_text = "Lo𝘳𝘦𝘮 ip𝘴um d𝘰l𝘰𝘳 s𝘪t 𝘢𝘮e𝘵, 𝘯𝘦 t";

assert_eq!("HELLO", b.decrypt(cipher_text).unwrap());
