Title : Vernam-Cipher | Encryption & Decryption
Author : ozzi789
Posted : 1+ years ago

Description : Those two functions let you encrypt&decrypt strings easly with a provided password.

It is pretty secure with a strong & long password.

Only ways to break the encryption is:
-Bruteforce (yeah lol)
-Frequency analysis of the letters
Note for those who know how Vernam works:
My functions repeat the keyword/password if its shorter than the string you are manipulating

Code :

Code: BlitzBasic

1. ;ozzi789 - 30.01.2012
2. original_string$="Vernam ist toll"
3. Print "Original String: "+original_string$
4.  
5. encrypted_string$= vernam_enc(original_string$,"secret1")
6. Print "Encrypted String: "+encrypted_string$
7.  
8. decrypted_string$=vernam_dec(encrypted_string$,"secret1")
9. If original_string$=decrypted_string$
10.         Print "Decrypted String: "+decrypted_string$
11. Else
12.         Print "This should not happen :'("
13. EndIf
14.  
15.  
16. Function vernam_enc$(strng$,key$)
17.         len_strng=Len(strng$)
18.         len_key=Len(key$)
19.        
20.         key_index=1
21.         For x=1 To len_strng
22.                 current_strng$=Mid(strng$,x,1)
23.                 current_key$=Mid(key$,key_index,1)
24.                 new_strng$=new_strng$+Chr(Asc(current_strng$)+Asc(current_key$))
25.                 key_index=(x Mod len_key)+1
26.         Next   
27.         Return new_strng$
28. End Function
29.  
30. Function vernam_dec$(strng$,key$)
31.         len_strng=Len(strng$)
32.         len_key=Len(key$)
33.        
34.         key_index=1
35.         For x=1 To len_strng
36.                 current_strng$=Mid(strng$,x,1)
37.                 current_key$=Mid(key$,key_index,1)
38.                 new_strng$=new_strng$+Chr(Asc(current_strng$)-Asc(current_key$))
39.                 key_index=(x Mod len_key)+1
40.         Next   
41.         Return new_strng$
42. End Function

 SWEET! I can use this to encrypt my map data even further! Thanks, Ozzi! =D

 Glad i could help !

 I'll test this for data encryption/decryption in my game project. This is extremely interesting considering what I just read about the Vernam Cipher.// EDIT:It's working

 I love encryption stuff, thanks for posting 'Vernam-Cipher'.


Guy Fawkes(Posted 1+ years ago)

 Can someone show an example or site that has this exact function only in PHP, javascript, jquery, or JSON?thanks!

 This is essentially a one-time pad and thus is secure.  But he says this:<div class="quote"> My functions repeat the keyword/password if its shorter than the string you are manipulating </div>If it does that, it is instantly zero security (due to differential cryptanalysis) so shouldn't be used for anything serious with keys shorter than the message.  The problem with sufficiently long keys becomes key exchange.


Guy Fawkes(Posted 1+ years ago)

 Then tell us, oh wise one. How would you fix this script then?


Matty(Posted 1+ years ago)

 Use a key as long as the message....

 When you use:

Code: [Select]

VERNAM_DEC$(E$,Left$(K$,Rand(1,Len(K$))))You get a partial answer to the original text. I did it this way to see if this could be a weak spot in the cypher.Is it?

 Not if you do it right.~GF [/i]
