A hacky implementation of One-time pad

Project description

===================
One-Time-Pad Python
===================

**One-Time-Pad Python is a command-line encryption tool**, which uses an
encryption mechanism very similar to `One-time Pad`_ (Duh. Thanks for
telling that)

Installation
------------

Install it using pip:
::
$ pip install onetimepad

Usage
-----

To use it from the command-line, run:
::
$ onetimepad

Or, import the onetimepad module in your script:
::
#!/usr/bin/env python3

import onetimepad

cipher = onetimepad.encrypt('some text', 'a_random_key')
msg = onetimepad.decrypt(cipher, 'a_random_key')

Security
--------

1. The crypted message is very easy to crack if the length of key is
less than the length of message.
2. In any case, the key is not nescessarily random, which makes this
tool as good as a toy.
3. Thus, do not encrypt any real private stuff, it won’t protect you
from the NSA. *It is just a hack*.
