Encryption
PLAIN
No encryption. Encodes text directly.
SPECK32/64 ECB
Block cipher in ECB mode. Each character is encrypted independently — identical plaintext characters produce identical ciphertext. Useful when you want varied-looking output from the same input, but not secure under real threat models since patterns in the plaintext leak through.
SPECK48/96 CTR
Stream cipher mode with a random 24-bit nonce prepended to the output. Identical plaintexts produce different ciphertexts each time. Significantly more secure than ECB. Rotate your password after roughly every 100 encryptions to avoid nonce reuse risk within the 24-bit space.
How ZWUS Works
- Take each character's Unicode code point.
- Convert it to the chosen base (3, 6, or 8).
- Map each resulting digit to its assigned zero-width character from the alphabet.
- Join digits together; separate characters with the base's designated separator (also zero-width).
The result is a string of invisible Unicode that carries the full original text. Decoding reverses the mapping: split on the separator, look up each zero-width character to recover the digit, parse the base-N number back to a code point, and reconstruct the string.
Use ZWUS in Your Own Projects
The encoder/decoder is available as a standalone package for multiple languages:
- JavaScript/TypeScript: zwus on npm
- Rust: zwus on crates.io
