# 🔐 Piero EnDe-Coder
A powerful encryption and decryption tool that combines the **Vigenère cipher**, **XOR encryption**, and **Base64 encoding** to secure messages. This tool allows users to encode and decode messages using a secret key, ensuring an extra layer of security.
## ⚙️ Features
✔ Uses **Vigenère cipher** for initial encryption
✔ Applies **XOR encryption** with a randomly generated key
✔ Encodes results in **Base64** for safe storage and transmission
✔ Supports **decryption** with the correct key
✔ Interactive **menu-based** CLI

## 💡 How It Works
Piero EnDe-Coder follows a **three-layered encryption process**:
1. **Vigenère Cipher**: Encrypts the text using a key-based shifting method.
2. **XOR Encryption**: Applies XOR transformation with a randomly generated key.
3. **Base64 Encoding**: Encodes the final result into Base64 for secure transfer.
For decryption, the process is reversed:
1. **Base64 Decoding** → **XOR Decryption** → **Vigenère Decryption**.

## 👨💻 Usage
### Running the Program
Run the script using:
```bash
python Piero-EnDe-Coder.py
```
You'll see a menu like this:
```plaintext
*****************************
PIERO ENDE-CODER
*****************************
Instructions:
- This tool encrypts and decrypts messages using the Vigenère Cipher
combined with XOR encryption.
- You will need to enter a **secret key** for encryption and decryption.
Choose an option:
[1] Encrypt a message
[2] Decrypt a message
[3] Exit
*****************************
```
### Encrypt a Message
1. Select **Option 1**.
2. Enter a **secret key** (used for encryption and decryption).
3. Enter the text to encrypt.
4. Receive the **encrypted message**.
### Decrypt a Message
1. Select **Option 2**.
2. Enter the **same secret key** used for encryption.
3. Enter the **encrypted text**.
4. Receive the **decrypted message**.
### Exit
- Select **Option 3** to exit the program.

## 📌 Encryption & Decryption Process
| Step | Encryption | Decryption |
|------|----------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------|
| 1 | **Vigenère Cipher** shifts text with key | **Reverse Vigenère Cipher** restores text |
| 2 | **XOR Encryption** scrambles data with key | **XOR Decryption** reverses the transformation |
| 3 | **Base64 Encoding** makes text safe for storage | **Base64 Decoding** restores encrypted text |
---
## 🧩 Example Usage
### Encryption Example:
```
Enter the secret key: secret123
Enter the text to encrypt: Hello World
```
**Output (Encrypted Text):**
```
UGFr... (Base64 Encoded String)
```
### Decryption Example:
```
Enter the secret key: secret123
Enter the encrypted text: UGFr...
```
**Output (Decrypted Text):**
```
Hello World
```
