web-caesar

Flask implementation of simple encryption algorithms in a Flask web application.

Allows you to input and encrypt messages using the caesar and vigenere ciphers.

If you accidentally encrypt the wrong message, you can quickly undo the encryption. This button is disabled as soon as the decrypted message is changed in the textbox, and is provided as an exercise in early JavaScript.

Features include input validation and some toggling.

Future Enhancements

• add decryption capability with inputed shift for caesar cipher or key for vingenere cipher.
