How to implement XOR cipher with repeating key in JavaScript for simple message encoding?
15:52 21 Dec 2025

I need a simple, lightweight way to encode/decode messages using XOR with a repeating key, then Base64 encode the result for safe transmission.

Requirements:

- Works in browser JavaScript

- Uses a repeating key (key cycles if shorter than message)

- Output should be Base64 encoded

- Must be reversible (same function encrypts and decrypts)

What's the cleanest implementation?
