Cipherkit: a cryptography toolbox made with Python

Jorge Martínez / Website / Posts / LinkedIn / Publications / Contact / About

I am an aerospace engineer and astronomer interested in astrodynamics, orbital mechanics and scientific computing. In my free time, I contribute to various open-source organizations whose main goal is to enhance the quality of modern science.

Astrodynamics and orbital mechanics

• poliastro interactive Astrodynamics and Orbital Mechanics in Python.
• lamberthub A collection of Lambert's problem solvers implemented in Python.

Ansys and PyAnsys

• PyMAPDL Pythonic interface to MAPDL.
• PyAEDT AEDT Python Client Package.
• PyFluent Pythonic interface to Ansys Fluent.

Publications

• A critical review on the state-of-the-art of Lambert’s problem

• Lambert's problem algorithms: a critical review

• poliastro: a Python library for interactive astrodynamics

• Interstellar Interceptors. Mission design for rendezvous with objects in hyperbolic orbits.

cipherkit's Issues

Add alphabets to cipherkit

Alphabets are the basics of any language, since they enable to build the different words. However, depending on the region and the kind of user an specific alphabet is used. For that reason we should implement the following alphabets:

• Spanish alphabet: 27 characters, including 'Ñ'
• English alphabet: 26 characters
• Decimal number alphabet
• ASCII alphabet
• ASCII improved alphabet

Some new alphabets may appear or be included in future issues or pull requests.

Migrate to setup.cfg and configure properly tox

This tasks should be very easy to solve. There already exist tools such us https://github.com/gvalkov/setuptools-py2cfg that make this migration task really easy.

On the other hand, tox.ini file should be better defined in order not to continuously being adding different configurations.

• Migrate to setup.cfg
• Configurate tox.ini

Investigate MANIFEST file

In #3 I disabled MANIFEST checker in tox when running the tests. This file is supposed to hold the paths and files that are included in the sdist when sharing the package. More information can be find in:

https://docs.python.org/2/distutils/sourcedist.html

However I was not able to make manifest to check and include the different directories. I would like to solve this issue before the first release of the package.

Create proper documentation to the project

Although for the moment there is available a read the docs webpage holding the complete documentation for the project it would be a good idea to reformat the way we present all this information to the user, also including different examples about how to use the package.

Basic cipher algorithms and cryptanalysis tools

Before version 0.1 comes out, the following algorithms should be implemented:

• Reverse cipher
• Atbash
• Caesar cipher
• Affine cipher

On the other hand, for the case of cryptanalysis:

• Brute force Caesar
• Language identifier: english, spanish

With this issue complete and other ones, first release could be possible 🐍 🔒
