About FALCON's CIPHER SPHINX

Welcome to FALCON's Cipher SphinX! Our platform offers cutting-edge encryption and decryption tools designed to safeguard data privacy and integrity. We focus on implementing robust algorithms to help users encrypt sensitive data, ensuring that information is securely transmitted and stored.

Algorithms We Use

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)

AES is a symmetric encryption algorithm widely used across the world for secure data encryption. It supports key lengths of 128, 192, and 256 bits and is known for its high level of security and efficiency.

DES (Data Encryption Standard)

DES is an older encryption standard that operates on 64-bit blocks of data and uses a 56-bit key. Although largely obsolete due to vulnerabilities, it laid the groundwork for modern encryption techniques.

3DES (Triple DES)

3DES enhances DES by applying the DES algorithm three times with different keys. It offers stronger encryption than DES but is slower compared to modern algorithms like AES.

Blowfish

Blowfish is a fast and flexible block cipher that uses a variable-length key (up to 448 bits). It is known for its simplicity and speed, making it suitable for both hardware and software encryption. Though AES has largely replaced Blowfish, it is still used in some encryption applications.

ChaCha20

ChaCha20 is a modern stream cipher designed as an alternative to AES. It is faster than AES on devices without hardware acceleration and is highly secure, making it ideal for high-performance encryption tasks.

CAST5

CAST5 is a block cipher that operates on 64-bit blocks and uses keys of length 40 to 128 bits. It is used in several encryption protocols and offers a good balance between speed and security.

RC2

RC2 is a variable-key-size block cipher that operates on 64-bit blocks. It was designed to be a secure alternative to DES and is commonly used in legacy systems and protocols.

Caesar Cipher

The Caesar Cipher is a simple substitution cipher where each letter in the plaintext is shifted by a fixed number of positions in the alphabet. While not secure by modern standards, it is one of the earliest encryption techniques.

Atbash Cipher

The Atbash Cipher is a simple substitution cipher where the letters of the alphabet are reversed (A becomes Z, B becomes Y, and so on). It is more of a historical cipher and is not used for serious encryption today.

XOR Cipher

The XOR Cipher is a simple encryption technique that works by applying the XOR (exclusive or) operation between the plaintext and a key. The key must be the same length as the plaintext for maximum security.
