a few months ago i posted asking for help in writing my encryption program in python. a few kind souls helped me as much as they could, knowing almost nothing about what the heck i was doing.
now, my program is in functional prototype stage; it works, and for those who critisized me :p
yes, i can clearly remember one person telling me to write a basic calculator program to learn on instead, but i did not listen and plunged right in (this being my first python program ever), sure, it's not to pretty or efficient, but it's getting there: 258 lines of code so far
one person even told me that since it's my first encryption program, it's probably no good, hehe, :p
it turns out i re-invented the wheel and made some improvements along the way. yup, it's a variant of 'one-time pad' encryption, which, theoretically, it unbreakable. it is however breakable due to real-world limitations, which is where i come in. by modifying the, well, stuff, it's, well, better :D i won't go into all the details here
so, for the doubtees...nana-nana-booboo! for the supporters, thank you
