PHP Challange / Learning Experance - Basic Criptography

[GoneNowBye]

Sorry for my spelling, dislexic power guys sorry.

 

Anyway, challange for you today. hopefully I can help someone

 

This challange here, is a decode chalanage, i will give you some clues.

 

I want you to decode the following, I know what the key is and what i started with. so....

 

here's the code

pEVCDXYUR^YPVU[RCXSRT^G_REC_^DERV[[NREZ~CU__VARYX^SRV@_VC^D_XB[s@E^CR_RERXC_REC_RYPEVCDXQTREZ:=:=DCV[[:=:=DCV[[:=:=DCV[[:=:=tXYPEVCB[VC^XYDXYGVDD^YPC_RT_V[VYPR:=:=VAX\:=

 

....Yeah thats a message

 

Right now the cipher.

 

The key is one character long.

and the method is Xor.

 

Xor takes binary data and does something with it

 

so if we have the following:

 

Data: 0000

Key : 1111

 

result: 1111

 

to get it back out:

 

result = data

Data: 1111

Key : 1111

 

result: 0000

 

 

where A and B are inputs and c is an output

 

A B C

1 0 1

0 1 0

1 1 0

0 0 0

 

happy playing if anyone needs any more clues....

 

btw the key character isnt some uber ellaborate key that knowone has, its on every english type keybord
