Encryption and Decryption Algorithm in Python

This repository contains a Python script that demonstrates a simple encryption and decryption algorithm using a shuffled character set.

Features

• Encrypts a given plaintext message.
• Decrypts an encrypted message back to the original plaintext.

Requirements

• Python 3.x

Usage

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/codes-elle/Encryption-and-Decryption-Algorithm-in-Python.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd Encryption-and-Decryption-Algorithm-in-Python

3. Run the script:

   python "Encryption Algorithm in Python.py"

4. Encryption:

   • Enter the plaintext message when prompted.
   • The script will output the original and encrypted messages.

5. Decryption:

   • Enter the encrypted message when prompted.
   • The script will output the encrypted and original messages.

How It Works

1. Character Set:

   • The script uses a combination of ASCII letters, digits, punctuation, and space.
   • The character set is shuffled to create a key for encryption and decryption.

2. Encryption:

   • Each character in the plaintext is replaced with the corresponding character from the shuffled key.

3. Decryption:

   • Each character in the encrypted message is replaced with the corresponding character from the original character set.

Example

Enter message you want to encrypt: hello
original message: hello
encrypted message: $m88&

Enter message you want to decrypt: $m88&
encrypted message: $m88&
original message: hello
