C++ Simple Encryption Algorithm XOR
C++ Simple Encryption Algorithm XOR
Code:
string XOR(string data, char key[])
{
string xorstring = data; //initialize new variable for our xordata
for (int i = 0; i < xorstring.size(); i++) { //for loop for scrambling bits in the string
xorstring[i] = data[i] ^ key[i % (sizeof(key) / sizeof(char))]; //scrambling the string/descrambling it
}
return xorstring;
}
Thanks for the contribution, what would you use this encryption for typically?

But this could be used (needs implementation) to for example encrypt memory of a program at runtime, or secure strings inside a program. This would have good
use for encrypting connections/packets too.
XOR Cipher is pretty easy to crack by analyzing patterns.
