SolitaireCryptoDemo - 1.2

A visual demonstration of the steps involved in generating a keystream using Bruce Schneier's Solitaire encryption algorithm.

Featuring smooth animations and descriptions of all steps.

Type "python SolitaireCryptoDemo.py" to start the demo.

You can also use several commandline options:

• -r - Setup a shuffled deck.
• -u - Setup an unkeyed deck.
• -k KEY - Setup a keyed deck using the algorithm described at http://www.schneier.com/solitaire.html.
• -o - Print found keys to standard out.
• -h - Display this text.

Examples:

• python SolitaireCryptoDemo.py -r
  starts the demo with a shuffled deck.
• python SolitaireCryptoDemo.py -u -o
  starts the demo with an unkeyed deck and prints the keys.
• python SolitaireCryptoDemo.py -k MYSECRETKEY

• Fixed some small bugs and misspellings.
• Modified the folder structure.
• Added several command line arguments for setting up the initial deck.
• Added a command line argument for outputting the keystream. For debugging purposes.
• Added a title showing the current step of the algorithm.
