Thread: Encryption In C

Speaking of which, how do I go about making my own encryption in C for ascii and bin files?

Start off with XOR encryption.

pseudo code:

Code:

string key = "monkey"
string encryptme = "secretcode"
string final
int keylength = strlen(key)
int keypos = 0

for (i = 0; encryptme[i] != '\0'; i++) {
	final[i] = encryptme[i] ^ key[keypos]
	keypos ++
	if (keypos > keylength) {	
		keypos = 0
	}
}

or something like that.

What is XOR?

I think just giving me a basic (general) english algorithm has to how I should go about making one would help me alot more.
