Vernam Criptography Project

Prerequisites:

• CMake 3.15.0
• GCC C++1z

NOTE: This project runs on UNIX CLI.

Usage steps:

1. Clone the repository

Your directory structure should look like this:

2. Run: cmake CMakeLists.txt

3. Run: make

CMake and Make actions should generate the executable file as well as a bunch of auxiliary files:

4. Fill in the plaintext: files/data/input.txt

5. Fill in the key: files/data/key.txt

6. Run: ./Vernam

7. Check file for ciphertext: files/results/ciphertext.txt

8. Check file for plaintext: files/results/plaintext.txt

Tips:

1. Restart at step 4 to repeat the experiment.**
2. Restart at step 3, if you modify the source code with C++11 compatible functionalities.**
3. If you update the source code using C++1z or C++2x, restart at step 2, after modifying the CXX flags.**

Notes:

1. You don't need to cleanup the results directory as the script replaces the files automatically.
2. This is a sample adaptation for academic purposes only.
