Certainly! Here's a README file for your encryption and decryption project:
This project implements a simple encryption and decryption algorithm using the Caesar cipher. The Caesar cipher is a substitution cipher where each letter in the plaintext is shifted a certain number of places down or up the alphabet.
- Encrypt plaintext messages using the Caesar cipher algorithm.
- Decrypt encrypted messages back to plaintext.
- Supports customizable shift keys for encryption and decryption.
- Clone the repository to your local machine.
- Run the Python script
encryption_decryption.py. - Follow the prompts:
- Enter
encryptfor encryption ordecryptfor decryption. - Enter the message you want to encrypt/decrypt.
- Enter the shift key to specify the encryption/decryption offset.
- Enter
- View the output message.
- Python 3.x
