if you like the Diana Cryptosystem and want to use it with a foreign
language, on an offline Computer, you may find my base26 Encoder/Decoder
useful.

 
Found a Python version:
https://pypi.org/project/base26/#files
 
Example:
 

import base26
base26.encode(b'test')

'EWJILIG'

base26.decode('EWJILIG')

b'test'
 

 
I now have a Rust Version, derived from the Python library and
it encodes 'test' with the same result, but when encoding with
Rust, the Python code can not decode properly, while decoding
from Python with Rust works. Oh, well ... :-(
(Wish I was a Programmer!)

Ok, I figured out that my Python3 code example is bad. So the
Rust Version works the same as the library. :-)
