# What is XOR encryption?

- XOR Encryption algorithm is an easy to implement method of symmetric encryption

- You can read more about it on [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher)

# How to use?

![](https://github.com/Mini-Ware/File-Locker/blob/main/example.png)

1) Clone this repository

```shell

$ git clone https://github.com/Mini-Ware/File-Locker

```

2) To lock a file, run the following commands

```shell

$ cd File-Locker

$ chmod +x run.sh

$ ./run.sh 

```

3) To unlock that file, run the following commands

```shell

$ ./run.sh 

```

# Disclaimer

- Methods such as factoring could possibly break XOR encryption

- XOR encryption is NOT the most secure way of encrypting data

- You can read more about it on [Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cryptography/Breaking_Vigen%C3%A8re_cipher)
