A joke "encryption" algorithm which involves encoding base64 data with base64 n times
This is a joke "encryption" algorithm, what it does is basically encode base64 data with base64, and therefore it's NOT secure. If you are using Solid State Drive, DO NOT TRY TO TEST THIS MODULE REPEATEDLY ON YOUR SYSTEM, this will shorten your SSD lifespan and I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES EITHER FOR ANY EQUIPMENT DAMAGES AND/OR INAPPROPRIATE USE, if you use this module, you assume all the responsibility for any consequences that will occur.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE WITH ANYTHING YOU DO WITH THIS MODULE

No, it doesn't. It's basically a base64 Matroska. I see no practical use besides benchmarking (either CPU, HDD, SSD or even RAM) or destroying SSD and hogging up the CPU, you may even get a memory overflow because I don't really trust Python's memory management.
Please note that if a large loopTime has been specified in EncryptToFile() or Encrypt(), like something like loopTime = 73, you may end up creating a monstrous file with a size of 70 or 40 GiB, trust me on that one. The size increases exponentially with the loopTime increase.
No, it isn't, base64 is just an encoding scheme and NOT an encryption algorithm, therefore encoding base64 data with base64 several times WILL NOT make your data or data transfer safe and/or secure, if you are looking for that, please take look at PGP and not this
U got it? GUUD. Let's dive into the nerdy stuff
This is a Python3 module, you can compile it to get better performance (but not much) using the setup.py or just use base64N.py and stdbase64.py (Please note that if you decided to use setup.py to compile the module, make sure you install cython by pip3 install cython and python3 setup.py build_ext --inplace to compile it)
base64N.py is the main logic code for encoding or decoding base64 several times.
stdbase64.py is just the base64 module taken from the standard module library from Python 3.8.1 (specifically, taken from Windows x64 installation of Python 3.8.1)
To import them to your script, make sure the base64N.py and stdbase64.py (or the two compiled files if you used the setup.py) is in the same folder or installed in your python module library. And just import them:
import base64N
This function will take the byte input parameter and encode it self with base64 loopTime times, then returns the encrypted content as a bytes object.
byte (bytes) - input data
loopTime (int) - how many times should be byte encoded
debug (bool) - show additional information: shows the "encrypting" process, how many times byte has been encoded
This function will take the byte input parameter and decode it self with base64 loopTime times, then returns the decrypted content as a bytes object.
byte (bytes) - input data
loopTime (int) - how many times should be byte decoded
debug (bool) - show additional information: shows the "decrypting" process, how many times byte has been decoded
This function will take the byte input parameter will try to decode it as base64 infinite times until an exception has been raised by the stdbase64.py, then returns the decrypted content as a bytes object.
byte (bytes) - input data
decryptLastTime (bool) - this parameter will decide if the decoding should keep decoding after the stdbase64.py raised an exception, this is implemented because b64decode from stdbase64.py with validate = True as parameter cannot decode a base64 encoded non-ASCII character, and enabling this will attempt to decode the encoded non-ascii character. And also enabling this while decoding encoded ASCII data will return a garbled bytes
debug (bool) - show additional information: shows the "decrypting" process, how many times has byte been decoded
This function will take the byte input parameter and encode it self with base64 loopTime times, then it writes the result to the file specified in path.
byte (bytes) - input data
loopTime (int) - how many times should be byte encoded
path (str) - the absolute or relative path of a file to be written or created
debug (bool) - show additional information: shows the "encrypting" process, how many times byte has been encoded
This function will take the byte input parameter and decode it self with base64 loopTime times, then it writes the result to the file specified in path.
byte (bytes) - input data
loopTime (int) - how many times should be byte decoded
path (str) - the absolute or relative path of a file to be written or created
debug (bool) - show additional information: shows the "decrypting" process, how many times byte has been decoded
This function will read the fileObj file object (open()) supplied in the parameter and decode the content inside the file loopTime times, then returns the decrypted content as a bytes object.
fileObj (open() file object with open mode rb) - input data
loopTime (int) - how many times should be fileObj decoded
debug (bool) - show additional information: shows the "decrypting" process, how many times fileObj has been decoded
This function will read the fileObj file object (open()) supplied in the parameter and encode the content inside the file loopTime times, then returns the encrypted content as a bytes object.
fileObj (open() file object with open mode rb) - input data
loopTime (int) - how many times should be fileObj encoded
debug (bool) - show additional information: shows the "encrypting" process, how many times fileObj has been encoded
Congratulations, you have reached the end of this README (this is a documantation though). Here is some resource that might help you.
