-title: Encryption in Python

-During my last year of highschool, I designed my very own text encryption
-algorithm. I wrote software in python to encode and decode text using a
-custom algorithm I made solely to better understand information theory.
-
-The class in which I did this project was designed to teach students about
-managing long term endeavours. People could tackle projects related to just
-about anything. One person wrote and printed a recipe books, another built a
-small soap box cart, someone even built a potato canon. When it came my turn to
-choose, I decided to do something related to programming where I could learn
-things a bit more abstract along the way.
-
-During the research phase of this endeavour, I learned about classic
-cryptography stories such as the ceasar cypher, enigma, symetric and asymetric
-key exchanges. Realizing that some encryption methods could be broken through
-easy non-bruteforce approaches intrigued me. I therefore settled to attempt a
-message encoding method which would be more secure than something such as a
-ceasar cypher. I wanted to build my own algorithm and this is what I came up
-with:
-
-My initial realization was the reality that information can be represented
-through a variety of methods. An image can be stored as one huge integer in
-binary form. Text, encoded in ASCII, was just a list of 255 symbols. When
-viewed from that perspective, an entire article could be thought of as one big
-integer in base255. I decided to start by converting the source message one
-might want to encrypt into decimal form as shown by this animation:
-

-
-The thing is, if a message can be converted from base255 to decimal, so can
-the password protecting the original message. You would then have both the message
-and the password in a format that feels much more intuitive to manipulate.
-So this is what I did:
