Solitaire / Pontifex

This is itended as a "clean-room" implementation of the Solitaire algorithm created by Bruce Schneier and used in the novel Cryptonomicon.

The only source material I will be using is the description of the algorithm from Bruce's website. I have read the Perl code in the book, but I have not taken the time to grok it in any meaningful sense.

Usage

The basic usage is to create a deck, likely keyed by a passphrase. Then, encrypt or decrypt strings on that deck.

API

package main

import (
  "fmt"

  "github.com/jmhobbs/pontifex"
)

func main() {
  deck, _ := pontifex.NewDeckForPassphrase("CRYPTONOMICON")
  ciphertext, _ := deck.Encrypt("SOLITAIRE")
  fmt.Println(ciphertext)

  plaintext, _ := deck.Decrypt(ciphertext)
  fmt.Println(plaintext)
}

CLI

$ pontifex
usage: pontifex [encrypt|decrypt] <passphrase> <ciphertext|plaintext>
$ pontifex encrypt CRYPTONOMICON SOLITAIRE
KIRAKSFJA
$ pontifex decrypt CRYPTONOMICON KIRAKSFJA
SOLITAIRE
