xor_my_data |
Encrypts a string using a secret key with the XOR cipher. |
xor_my_data(data: str, key: str) -> str
Encrypts a string using a secret key with the XOR cipher.
This function performs an XOR operation on each byte of the input data with the corresponding byte of the key. If the key is shorter than the data, it wraps around and continues from the beginning of the key. If you need to decrypt data, use the same function with the same secret key. XOR is a symmetric operation.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|

Example
>>> encrypted = xor_my_data("Hello, World!", "secretkey")
>>> print(encrypted)
