I just read Digital Fortress by Dan Brown and it involved a lot of codes and the breaking of them, so I was intrigued and decided to try to program my own encryptor and decryptor.

I don't think it's too difficult to decode, but obviously that's because I know how it works. If you want to try it or maybe even try to solve it you can download the .jar file here.

It's pretty simple and requires the program to decrypt so it's only safe if no one else knows which program you're using to encrypt, but this was just a fun little 1-day project. I might expand upon it in the future!

Enjoy

Wait, so if we want to decrypt it, we have to do it ourselves?

nothxbud, I don't think I'd even know where to start, lol

Haha you can try to figure out the code yourself if you want, but the program has the ability to encrypt and decrypt. Just download it and test out the two encryption methods, maybe you'll see the pattern, but hopefully not, cause that would mean I did it well I do plan to make it so a pass key is required for decryption that is decided when encrypting something, so similar to adding a password to a file.

sounds like a blast

not

(I'm lazy, I like to avoid programming when I can XP)

I'm glad it's got a decrypt function too though

was worried I'd accidentally encrypt a file I needed and have it forever lost, because I'm totally silly enough to make a mistake like that, lol

Hey, that's not a bad idea, I didn't even think of adding the capabilities to directly encrypt entire text files! Thanks for the suggestion

Alright, so the updated version now uses simple, self-made passwords for encryption/decryption. Password generation works, but you cannot yet use the generated passwords to encrypt/decrypt, however, that will be added soon. I will also add file encryption/decryption soon, but I will either have to optimize the encoding or you'll just have to be patient when encrypting

Haha, nice! What did you think of the book? I liked it, personally.

I'll give your program a shot tomorrow! As for now, it's like 1 AM and I'm barely coherent...

I really liked the book too! I only have 1 or 2 more Dan Brown books to read and this was definitely one of the best ones!

Awesome there are a few things I'm still wondering how to get working correctly because this is the first time I'm making something like this and I want it to be usable, but I think it works pretty well.
