+# Cipher Workshop
+
+This is a Rust workspace containing implementations of various cipher algorithms, along with a command-line interface (CLI) and a web interface to interact with them.
+
+## Features
+
+- **AES and DES Implementations**: The workspace includes implementations of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and the Data Encryption Standard (DES).
+- **Command-Line Interface**: A CLI to encrypt and decrypt messages using the supported ciphers.
+- **Web Interface**: A web-based interface to perform cipher operations in the browser.
+
+## Workspace Structure
+
+The `cipher-workshop` workspace is organized into the following crates:
+
+- `aes`: Implementation of the AES cipher.
+- `cipher-core`: Core traits and types for ciphers.
+- `cipher-factory`: A factory for creating cipher contexts.
+- `cli`: A command-line interface for the ciphers.
+- `des`: Implementation of the DES cipher.
+- `web`: A web interface for the ciphers, built with Leptos.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)
+- [Trunk](https://trunkrs.dev/#install) (for the web interface)
+- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) (for end-to-end testing)
+
+### Building the Project
+
+Clone the repository and build the workspace:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/kristofers-solo/cipher-workshop.git
+cd cipher-workshop
+cargo build
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### CLI
+
+The CLI allows you to encrypt and decrypt messages using the supported ciphers.
+
+#### AES
+
+To encrypt a message with AES:
+
+```bash
+cargo run --bin cli -- encrypt -a aes -k <KEY> <MESSAGE>
+```
+
+To decrypt a message with AES:
+
+```bash
+cargo run --bin cli -- decrypt -a aes -k <KEY> <MESSAGE> 
+```
+
+#### DES
+
+To encrypt a message with DES:
+
+```bash
+cargo run --bin cli -- encrypt des -k <KEY> <MESSAGE>
+```
+
+To decrypt a message with DES:
+
+```bash
+cargo run --bin cli -- decrypt des -k <KEY> <MESSAGE>
+```
+
+### Web Interface
+
+The web interface provides a user-friendly way to interact with the ciphers, available at: [https://cryptography.kristofers.xyz/](https://cryptography.kristofers.xyz/)
+
+To run the web interface, navigate to the `web` directory and use `trunk`:
+
+```bash
+cd web
+trunk serve --open
+```
