Hi Product Hunt!

I’m a Computer Science student currently writing my final thesis on cryptography. I created CipherLock because I couldn’t find a hub that balanced technical rigor with a modern, didactic interface.


I treat this as a living laboratory. It is an ongoing project with weekly updates, I’m constantly shipping new ciphers, interactive modules, and deepening the "Academy" section.


Highlights:
- Formative Academy: Focuses on the 'why' and 'how' of historical and modern encryption systems.
- Brutalist DNA: A raw, field-manual aesthetic designed for clarity and technical speed.
- Client-Side Security: All mathematical logic runs strictly within your browser.

Since I am iterating on the code every week, your feedback directly shapes the next update. Let me know which cipher or concept you would like to see visualized next.

Happy decoding!

Learning by breaking things is genuinely the best way to understand security. Does it start easy or throw you in the deep end immediately?
