[Tutor] Cryptography Toolkit

[Kent Johnson]

It works if you make a new XOR object for the decryption:

from Crypto.Cipher import XOR

obj_xor = XOR.new("string")
str_encrypt = "encrypt this string"
print str_encrypt

xored = obj_xor.encrypt(str_encrypt)
print xored

obj_xor = XOR.new("string")
print obj_xor.decrypt(xored)
