I started this project to help me understand the encryption techniques Simon Singh explains in his fantastic book The Code Book - The Science of Secrecy From Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography (Anchor Books, 2000). I plan to work with the concepts of cryptography and cryptanalysis history, laid out by Singh in his book, implementing the algorithms —to the best of my abilities— with Python snippets and libraries. The purpose of this project is entirely educational and mainly for my benefit. But I do hope that someone else can find it a helpful companion for their journey into the world of cryptography.

The source code for the Streamlit app is in my github repo: https://github.com/carlosolmos/cipherlab
