Hi everybody.
Do you want to know how to create an encryption algorithm?
Well youre in luck, I created a program to help.
See the documentation for more info.

In responce to the last (Deleted) post,
I created Rexor to help people begin to grasp encryption, it wasn't designed to be secure. I designed it to be simple above all else. The reverse feature was implemented to get the ball rolling with new ideas. If i just had one simple XOR gate then people may not build on it. Reversing the Cipher and then re-encrypting it is (hopefully) a way of getting people to think differently.
Also, the algorithm isn't strong, it doesn't take a genius to work that out, but it's my first shot and i'm not an expert. To begin with I wanted to create a function to scramble a string with a password, then unscramble it. Maybe I will make a new algorithm, based upon rexor that will be (at least a bit more) secure and will be aimed at people who have read, understood and maybe even contributed to Rexor.
