# BinSwap
A lightweight, key-based text encoder/decoder implementing XOR encryption with binary manipulation. Designed for personal, low-security encoding tasks.
## Features
- **Key-based encryption** using XOR cipher
- **Binary bit reversal** for additional obfuscation
- **Dual output formats**: Base-4 (Quaternary) and Hexadecimal
- **Text and file operations** with intuitive TUI
- **Cross-platform** Python implementation
## How It Works
### Encryption Process
1. **Extend Key**: Repeat encryption key to match input length
2. **XOR Operation**: Apply XOR cipher using extended key
3. **Binary Conversion**: Convert result to 8-bit binary
4. **Bit Reversal**: Reverse each byte for obfuscation
5. **Format Encoding**: Output as Base-4 or Hexadecimal
### Example
```
Input: "hello"
Key: "secret"
Output: "d8e0781450" (Hexadecimal)
```
## Requirements
Python 3.6 or higher (no external dependencies)
## Security Notice
**WARNING**: BinSwap is intended for personal, low-security use only. Not cryptographically secure.
## Technical Details
- **Algorithm**: XOR cipher with binary bit reversal
- **Output formats**: Base-4 (quaternary) and Hexadecimal

**Remember**: Always keep your encryption key safe. Without it, encoded data cannot be recovered.
