Cryptic Talk

Hello Everyone!
I'm so excited to publish this post. This is the post that I've been talking about for a while now.
Last semester we had a subject called Cryptography and Network Security. It involved use of a variety of ciphers to encrypt and decrypt text. It is a very interesting subject and I loved it. I thought I could use this knowledge to implement a simple cipher that people could use for fun.
This led me to develop 'Cryptic Text'. It is a very simple widget that I've designed and added to this blog. It implements a variation of the 'Pigpen Cipher'.

Using it is really simple. The Encrypt part takes a piece of text and returns the encrypted text. The Decrypt part takes the encrypted text and gives the decrypted text.

You can use this to share secret messages with your friends. Get the encrypted message, send it to your friend along with this link. Your friend can decrypt it and get back your message!

Sounds cool? Try it out now!

Do leave your opinion in the comments. If you have any issues, let me know and I'll try to fix them!
Bye :)

P.S I've added it as a page to my blog to make it easy to access.
