It uses a random seeded UUID to generate a user_key which matches RGB perfect values to match to unicode characters. These are stored in a `user_key.png` file which is used to encrypt and decrypt messages. The speed is getting there but there is 100% room for improvement. I have been working on this for 2 months now and with contributions from @TotallyNotChase he was able to implement AES encryption to the strings passed into Pixcryptions image cipher.\n\n# Example Results\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003ca align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eUser Key (Compressed in README):\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/br\u003e\n  \u003ca align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://github.com/M4cs/pixcryption/blob/master/examples/userkey.png?raw=true\" width=\"50%\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/br\u003e\n  \u003ca align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eEncrypted Message (Uncompressed):\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/br\u003e\n  \u003ca align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://github.com/M4cs/pixcryption/blob/master/examples/example_enc_msg.png?raw=true\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/br\u003e\n  \u003ca align=\"center\"\u003eHi my name is Max and this is an encrypted image that decrypts into a string. I call it pixelsafe encryption and plan on making it into an awesome thing.\u003c/a\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n# Requirements\n\n- Python 3.7+\n- Pillow\n- Numpy\n- PyCryptodome\n\n# Development\n\nTo install run either `pip3 install -r requirements.txt` or `poetry install` if you use poetry for dependency management.\n\nTo generate a user_key for testing run `python3 test.py` once and then to test encryption/decryption with said user_key run the `test.py` file again.\n\n# Usage\n\nInside of the `core.lib` module you will find all functions currently used in the project.\n\nWith these you can generate a user key, grab a key_list from a user key, and encrypt/decrypt messages. The implementation is pretty simple and you can take a look at `test.py` for an example.\n\n**This only encrypts unicode characters at the moment which makes it a good choice for messaging. The # of pixels in the image will be == to the # of characters in the string encrypted. This is one security flaw which we need to look into fixing.**\n\n# Contribution\n\nIf you would like to contribute to pixcryption please submit a pull request.
