Vigenere Cipher

This is a simple command line implementation of a Vigenere cipher in Go.

Flags

• -i string: the path to the input file (text to encode or decode)
• -o string: the path to the desired output file (where to store encoded or decoded message)
• -k string: the keyword used to encrypt the message
• -e boolean: flag for encoding
• -d boolean: flag for decoding

Encoding is the default, with a default keyword “a”, which keeps all letters the same. The default input file is cleartext.txt and the default output file is ciphertext.txt.

Example

vigenere -i cleartext.txt -k forget -e -o ciphertext.txt
vigenere -i ciphertext.txt -k forget -d -o message.txt
