Rubiks Encryption Algorithm

The algorithm is a substitution cipher algorithm used to reduce the common number of occurences. This is done with the use of three rubiks cube (3x3x3) and each character is assigned a random cube which is chosen from a evenly distributed randomly generated sequence.

The key generation is done by creating a randomly generated and evenly distributed of length 100. The key performs the following 12 operations on the cube -

1. Front & front prime
2. Up & up prime
3. Back & back prime
4. Left & left prime
5. Right & right prime
6. Down & down prime

All the cubes are initialized with a default configuration. The cube looks as follows -

Following things can be noticed -

• The face 0 of the cube is the center most face. The next face is the one above it and then it goes in a clockwise manner.
• The characters 'X' after the digit '9' are the randomly generated characters.
• The ` character is a special character that is used for spaces.

How to run

1. Make sure you have at least c++11 compiler on your device.

2. Clone this repo. git clone https://github.com/arp1561/Rubiks-Cube-Encryption

3. Navigate to the testing folder by cd testing/ and compile the EncrptionTest.cpp program with the following command. g++ EncryptionTest.cpp ../src/Encryption.cpp ../src/Cube.cpp ../src/Generator.cpp ../src/Converter.cpp for encryption.

4. The input can be changed in the input folder.

5. After adding an input text, run the encryption using ./a.out

6. The ciphertext, asciivalues, keys can all be seen in the output folder.

7. Navigate to the testing folder and run the DecryptionTest.cpp program with the following command. g++ DecryptionTest.cpp src/Encryption.cpp src/Cube.cpp src/Generator.cpp src/Converter.cpp for Decryption.
