Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Hybrid Cipher

The term "cryptography" derives from a Greek word that refers to securing data by transforming it into a disorganised and unintelligible structure. It combines software engineering and math. The Internet's rapid expansion has increased people's knowledge with curiosity and uncertainty difficulties. Despite the fact that security is a major concern on the internet, many apps have been developed and designed without taking into account the secrecy, authentication, and protection of data as their primary focus. The necessity of being aware of such security problems and difficulties will grow as our daily activities become more and more reliant on data networks. Cryptography is essential to prevent access to the data by some unwelcome clients or persons. This paper introduces a new hybrid security cipher by combining the two most important Ciphers such as Polybius Cipher and Vigenere Cipher. This` hybrid encryption cipher provides greater security as compared to classic ciphers. This is a hybrid encryption and decryption model consist of Vigenere Cipher and Polybius Cipher.

What is the Polybius cipher?

The Polybius cipher, also called Polybius square, is a negotiation cipher using a square grid. Each character of the plain communication is replaced by a couple of equals defining its position in the grid.

How to Encrypt using Polybius cipher?

Polybius square uses a 8x8 grid filled with letters for encryption.

| \ | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | | 1 | z | e | b | r | a | c | d | f | | 2 | g | h | i | k | l | m | n | o | | 3 | p | q | s | t | u | v | w | x | | 4 | y | j | Z | E | B | R | A | C | | 5 | D | F | G | H | I | K | L | M | | 6 | N | O | P | Q | S | T | U | V | | 7 | W | X | Y | J | [ | \ | ] | ^ | | 8 | _ | ` | @ | { | | | } | ~ | z |

As the latin alphabet has 52 letters (including samll and capital) and the grid has 64 cells, I have added 12 more sign to make it more versatile. The order of the letters in the grid can be modified using a key to generate a deranged alphabet.

The encryption phase is a substitution of each letter by its coordinates (row, column) in the grid.

Example: D is located row 5, column 1, so coded 51; c is located row 1, column 6, it is coded 16. The ciphered message Dcode is then 5116281712

How to Decrypt Polybius cipher?

Polybius decryption requires to know the grid and consists in a substitution of couples of coordinates by the corresponding letter in the grid.

Example: 57283612, 57 stands for 5th row, 7th column, so letter L, and so on. The plain message is Love

What is the Vigenere cipher?

The Vigenère cipher is a method of encrypting alphabetic text by using a series of interwoven Caesar ciphers, based on the letters of a keyword. It employs a form of polyalphabetic substitution

How to Encrypt using Vigenere cipher?

Encryption with Vigenere uses a key made of letters (and an alphabet). There are several ways to achieve the ciphering manually:

In order to cipher a text, take the first letter of the message and the first letter of the key, add their ASCII value and (letters have a value depending on their rank in the alphabet, starting with 0). The result of the addition modulo 128 (128= highest ASCII value) gives the rank of the ciphered letter.

How to Decrypt using Vigenere cipher?

To decrypt, take the first letter of the ciphertext and the first letter of the key, and subtract their value (letters have a value equal to their position in the alphabet starting from 0). If the result is negative, add 128 (128=highest ASCII value), the result gives the rank of the plain letter.

Installation

Use the package manager npm to install Hybrid Cipher.

npm i hybrid-cipher

Usage

It's very easy configure on your application. just follow on below: For hybridCypherEncryption you need to provide message(which is Alphabet), then the secrete key(which is Alphabet) For hybridCypherDecryption you need to provide generated key(which is numeric), then the secrete key(which is Alphabet)

let app = require("hybrid-cipher");

app.hybridCypherEncryption("encode", "secretekey") # return 726552155573
app.hybridCypherDecryption("726552155573", 'secretekey') # return encode

app.hybridCypherEncryption("Encode", "secretekey") # return 386552155573
app.hybridCypherDecryption("386552155573", 'secretekey') # return  Encode

app.hybridCypherEncryption("Encode", "Secretekey") # return 726552155573
app.hybridCypherDecryption("726552155573", 'Secretekey') # return  Encode

In such scenario, hacker knows your app generated key(which is numeric), they can't steal your data as it's stored in two layers

let app = require("hybrid-cipher");

app.hybridCypherDecryption("726552155573", 'something') # return  edY|Uq  // Here the result is wrong,  it supposed to be 'encode'

app.hybridCypherDecryption("386552155573", 'key') # return  EdY|^t // here the result is wrong, it supposed to be 'Encode'

app.hybridCypherDecryption("846673641672826571", 'Secretekey') # return  hov_~d{hr // here the result is wrong, it supposed to be 'HelloWorld' 

In such scenario, hacker knows your app generated key and secrete key they can't steal your data as we have used two layers of cipher model which are Vigenere Cipher and Polybius Cipher.

The generated key will looks like Vigenere Cipher so they will try to get the data by decrypting this methodology where we have used a new and custom methods for it.

DFD of Hybrid Cipher:

A product program will be composed to exhibit the viability of the calculation utilizing python coding and cryptanalysis technique will be performed on the ciphertext. A flowchart depicting the Hybrid Algorithm is as shown:
