Documentation

Overview

Package xor is an encryption algorithm that operates the exclusive disjunction(XOR) ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher

Example

const (
	seed = "Hello World"
	key  = 97
)

encrypted := Encrypt(byte(key), []byte(seed))
fmt.Printf("Encrypt=> key: %d, seed: %s, encryptedText: %v\n", key, seed, encrypted)

decrypted := Decrypt(byte(key), encrypted)
fmt.Printf("Decrypt=> key: %d, encryptedText: %v, DecryptedText: %s\n", key, encrypted, string(decrypted))

Output:

Encrypt=> key: 97, seed: Hello World, encryptedText: [41 4 13 13 14 65 54 14 19 13 5]
Decrypt=> key: 97, encryptedText: [41 4 13 13 14 65 54 14 19 13 5], DecryptedText: Hello World

Functions

func Decrypt

func Decrypt(key byte, cipherText []byte) []byte

Decrypt decrypts with Xor encryption

func Encrypt

func Encrypt(key byte, plaintext []byte) []byte

Encrypt encrypts with Xor encryption after converting each character to byte The returned value might not be readable because there is no guarantee which is within the ASCII range If using other type such as string, []int, or some other types, add the statements for converting the type to []byte.
