XOR cipher
text:
In cryptography, the simple XOR cipher is a type of additive cipher, an encryption algorithm that operates according to the principles: For example where ⊕ denotes the exclusive disjunction (XOR) operation. This operation is sometimes called modulus 2 addition. With this logic, a string of text can be encrypted by applying the bitwise XOR operator to every character using a given key. To decrypt the output, merely reapplying the XOR function with the key will remove the cipher.
