Crate ciphers

Ciphers

Ciphers is a Rust library that provides implementations of many different classical ciphers.

1. Supported Ciphers

There are currently 16 different supported ciphers.

Transposition	Monoalphabetic	Polyalphabetic	Polygraphic	Other
Rail-fence	Simple Substitution	Vigenere	Playfair	ADFGX
Columnar Transposition	Caesar	Beaufort	Four-Square	ADFGVX
	Affine	Autokey
	Polybius Square	Running Key
	Atbash	Porta

2. Installation

Simply put the following in your Cargo.toml.

[dependencies]
ciphers = "0.1.0"

3. Example Usage

E.g. using the Vigenere cipher.

use ciphers::{Cipher, Vigenere};
 
fn main() {
    let vigenere = Vigenere::new("examplekey");
 
    // encipher
    let ctext = vigenere.encipher("someexampletexthere").unwrap();
    println!("ciphertext: {}", ctext);
 
    // decipher
    let ptext = vigenere.decipher(&ctext).unwrap();
    println!("plaintext:  {}", ptext);
}

4. To be Implemented

There are currently 6 different ciphers to be implemented.

Transposition	Monoalphabetic	Polyalphabetic	Polygraphic	Other

				Trifid
				Straddle Checkerboard
