What is XOR encryption?

XOR encryption is a simple symmetric cipher that applies the XOR operation between the data and a key to transform it.

Is XOR encryption secure?

XOR encryption can be secure if the key is as long as the message and truly random (one-time pad). However, repeated or predictable keys reduce security.

Can I use different formats for input and key?

Yes, this tool allows mixing text, hex, and binary formats for input and key processing.

Quick Reference

XOR Properties

• A ⊕ 0 = A
• A ⊕ A = 0
• A ⊕ B = B ⊕ A
• (A ⊕ B) ⊕ C = A ⊕ (B ⊕ C)

Key Points

• XOR encryption is symmetric
• Same operation for encrypt/decrypt
• Key length affects security
• Repeating keys can be vulnerable

Format Tips

• Text: Standard ASCII input
• Hex: Space-separated bytes (48 65)
• Binary: Space-separated bytes (01001000)
• Mixed formats supported for key/input
