High Performance SBWT 📦🔑

High Performance SBWT is a Python-based project that implements a cryptographic compression pipeline using advanced algorithms such as SBWT, Huffman coding, Arithmetic coding, LZW, and BZip2. It provides tools for compressing and encrypting data with a modular and extensible approach.

🔑 Key Features

• User-Friendly: Command-line interface for easy usage and configuration.

• Benchmarking Tools: Comes with utilities for testing and comparing performance.

• Pipeline Integration: Implements SBWT-based cryptographic compression pipeline.

• Multi-Algorithm Support: Includes Huffman, Arithmetic coding, BZip2, and LZW.

🛠️ Installation

📋 Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.8+: Download it from python.org.

⚙️ Installation Steps

1. Install Dependencies: Install required packages from requirements.txt:

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Verify Installation: Check the help options for the main scripts:

python3 hpswbt.py -h
python3 testing.py -h

⚠️ Notes

Ensure you have sufficient disk space for benchmarking large datasets.

📜 Usage

1. Compress and Encrypt Run the main script with desired options:

python3 hpswbt.py compress -i input -m mode -k key [-l log]
python3 hpswbt.py decompress -i input -o output -k key [-l log]

2. Benchmarking Use the testing.py script to evaluate performance:

python3 testing.py -i input -m mode -k key [-l log]

📜 API Reference

• hpswbt.py: Implements the cryptographic compression pipeline. Options for selecting algorithms: huffman, arithmetic, lzw, bzip2.

• testing.py: Provides benchmarking utilities for testing performance and compression ratios.

• Other Modules: Additional modules are available separately for modular usage.
