Study Table explores the XOR cipher, a fundamental building block of complex modern cryptographic systems. This tutorial demonstrates the XOR operation using a practical example, converting plain text into 8-bit ASCII binary to illustrate the precise mechanism behind both the encryption and decryption processes. Spies used secret codes for centuries — but a lot of homemade codes are way weaker than they look.
