Vigenère cipher
Here’s a piece of JavaScript I made that uses the book title as a Vigenère cipher keyword to decrypt the page content. You can paste it directly into the browser’s URL bar on a library page to decrypt. (I made it in a hurry so it comes with no warranty!)
javascript:(function () {
var alphabet, c, i, m, text, title;
alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz,. ';
title = document.title;
text = {
original: document.getElementById('textblock').textContent,
decoded: ''
};
for (i = 0; i < text.original.length; i += 1) {
c = text.original.substr(i, 1);
if (c === '\n') {
text.decoded += c;
} else {
m = alphabet.indexOf(title.substr(i % title.length, 1)); /* add "+ 1" if you want A = 1, B = 2,... instead of A = 0, B = 1,... */
text.decoded += alphabet.substr(((alphabet.indexOf(c) - m) % alphabet.length), 1);
}
}
document.getElementById('textblock').textContent = text.decoded;
}());
