Rotor Machine Encrypt/Decrypt

Encrypts or decrypts a message using a rotor machine.

Source: Native Python

Overview

This node runs a message through a configured rotor machine, performing either encryption or decryption. The machine's stepping mechanism is applied after each character, causing the rotors to turn and produce a different substitution for each subsequent letter.

Parameters

• machine: A MACHINE object from the Rotor Machine State node. Required.
• positions: A POSITIONS object from the Rotor Machine Positions node. Required.
• text: The message to encrypt or decrypt. Default is Hello World!.
• preserve: When True, attempts to preserve the form of the message, including case and punctuation marks. Default is False.
• mode: Toggle between Encrypt (default) and Decrypt.

Outputs

• encrypted_msg: The resulting ciphertext (on encryption) or plaintext (on decryption) as a STRING.
• rotor_pos: The final rotor positions after the operation, as a POSITIONS object. This can be used to resume encryption from where you left off.

Additional Considerations

• The alphabets must be uppercase/uncased - the node case-folds input.
• When preserve is True, characters not in the alphabet are passed through unchanged, and case is preserved.
• For decryption, the machine must be configured with the same settings used during encryption, and the rotor positions must be reset to the original starting positions.
