ROT26

Pure Crystal implementation of the ROT26 encryption algorithm

ROT26

This is a Crystal implementation of the ROT26 encryption algorithm based on @jD91mZM2's rust project at jD91mZM2/rot26.

ROT13 ("rotate by 13 places", sometimes hyphenated ROT-13) is a letter substitution cipher that replaces a letter with the letter 13 letters after it in the alphabet. Instead of only rotating 13 places, ROT26 rotates twice as many characters in the alphabet and is therefore twice as secure.

Pure Crystal rewrite of the rot26 algorithm.
Even maintains support for rot13 and any rot, with friendly helpful comments advising you to just stick to rot26.

ROT26 encryption & decryption is very complex and requires a powerful, purpose-built super-computer to perform all the calculations... which we have created. So, to encourage more developers to use ROT26 in their mobile, web and PC software applications we are offering a very easy to use and totally free ROT26 encryption and decryption REST web service.

This is no longer true.
That and all the following are features now possible thanks to Crystal:

  • Complete unicode support. Disregards any non-alphabetical symbols! (was probably possible before actually)
  • Unit tests.

Installation

Add this to your application's shard.yml:

dependencies:
  rot26:
    github: watzon/rot26

Usage

Simply call ROT26.encrypt on any string. For example:

ROT26.encrypt("hello") # => "hello"

to decrypt, use ROT26.decrypt

ROT26.decrypt("hello") # => "hello"
