scream_cypher #

In the SCREAM CYPHER, messages consist of all As with different letters distinguished using diacritics. This is a tool that provides both a CLI tool and a library to encrypt and decrypt text using the scream cypher.

Acknowledgements #

This cypher originated from XKCD. Thank you, Randall Munroe, for always bringing such beautiful things into this world.

Command line installation and usage #

Install scream_cypher with Cargo:

cargo install scream_cypher

You can then use the scream command to encrypt and decrypt messages:

scream encrypt "This is a test."
# Āa̰ảã ảã a āáãā.

scream decrypt "Āa̰ảã ảã a āáãā."
# This is a test.

Library installation and usage #

Add scream_cypher to your project:

cargo add scream_cypher

You can then use scream_cypher::encrypt and scream_cypher::decrypt to encrypt and decrypt messages:

let ciphertext = scream_cipher::encrypt("This is a test.");

println!("Your message: \"{}\"", ciphertext);
// Your message: "Āa̰ảã ảã a āáãā."

let plaintext = scream_cipher::decrypt(cyphertext);

println!("Your message: \"{}\"", plaintext);
// Your message: "This is a test."
