In this chromium browser project I will implement a caesar cipher that takes in a string as plaintext and the shift (key) factor and then outputs the modified string as ciphertext.
Tasklist
- On paper, I will use a shift cipher to encrypt and decrypt a short message to get a feel for how this cipher works.
- Highlight how I will use conditionals and flow controls to convert a string into a number.
- Brush up my knowledge on how I will implement my knowledge of strings, arrays, and hashes for encrypting and decrypting messages.
- Develop an algorithm for this procedure that works for input text and shift value.
- Create and initialize (set to blank) three variables to store inputText, shiftValue, and outputText.
- Ask the user to enter a plaintext message to be encoded.
- Set the inputText variable to the answer from the user.
- Ask the user to enter a shift value for the shift cipher. If their answer is a number; Set the shiftValue variable to their answer.
- Ask the user if they wish to encode or decode.
- Then call a custom procedure to encrypt or decrypt the data.
- Check that my code works as expected.
- Ensure my code wraps from z to a and keeps the same case.
- Adding the Brute Force Mode to my code
- Package my code as a chrome extension
- Create and add a Manifest.json file to my code
- Use a google developer account to upload my project to the Chrome extension store - https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/building-chrome-extension/
- Publish my project to the chrome web store for other cybersecurity enthusiasts to test, use and play with - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/caesars-cipher/fdodgpljcddhaecalplkpeijoadfpccg/
- Publish my project to the Resource Group (CaesarsCipher-S01-Jake) i created on OKCU Azure portal fore students (the free tier subscription for students) for other cybersecurity enthusiasts to test, use and play with...it is currently publicly accessible at https://gray-forest-042c17010.3.azurestaticapps.net. [x] Publish a forked multi-encryption on to the Resource Group (Multiple Ciphers) i created on OKCU Azure portal fore students (the free tier subscription for students) for other cybersecurity enthusiasts to test, use and play with...it is currently publicly accessible at https://proud-island-0146f9410.3.azurestaticapps.net.
Wish me luck in my presentation today!
