How the Encryption Works:
Twitter Crypt uses a unique three-layer encryption process to secure your messages:
1. Base64 Encoding Layer
- Converts your message to UTF-8 bytes
- Encodes it to Base64 format
- Ensures all characters are safely transmitted
2. Vigenère Cipher Layer
- Uses your secret key to encrypt the Base64 text
- Applies a sliding window encryption
- Preserves letter case and special characters
3. Emoji Substitution Layer
- Converts encrypted text into a sequence of emojis
- Uses a unique emoji for each character
- Makes encrypted tweets visually distinctive
- Adds the special prefix π
π
to mark encrypted tweets
Example:
Original tweet: "Hello World!"
After encryption: π
π
π¦ππ―π―π¦πππ¦π§π―πβ‘
This means:
β’ Only someone with the exact same key can decrypt your messages
β’ Each layer adds additional security and uniqueness
β’ The emoji format makes encrypted tweets easy to identify
β’ Your keys are stored securely in your local browser storage
β’ The encryption process is completely reversible with the correct key
