In the following code snippet,

from sage.crypto.util import ascii_to_bin

arr = [12, 32, 40]

arr2 = [ascii_to_bin(chr(arr[i])) for i in range(0,len(arr))]

print(arr2)

print(type(arr2[0]))


Output:
[00001100, 00100000, 00101000]
<class 'sage.monoids.string_monoid_element.StringMonoidElement'>

What I seek is the conversion of 00001100 to Integer, not like the ASCII from binary but more on the lines of a format that I can use for XORing later. I tried converting to Integer class which proved futile. What I want to do is eventually XOR each bit of the binary representation of each element of arr with something else.

If you want to XOR you can just use integers directly with the ^^ operator in SageMath (or ^ in Python). Integers can be displayed as binary using e.g. the bin function:

sage: 32 ^^ 40
8
sage: bin(32)
'0b100000'
sage: bin(40)
'0b101000'
sage: bin(8)
'0b1000'

If your input is given as a string of ASCII characters then you can turn each character into an integer using the ord function:

sage: ord('A')
65

If you want to turn the output of ascii_to_bin into an integer, use ascii_integer:

sage: from sage.crypto.util import ascii_to_bin, ascii_integer
sage: ascii_integer(ascii_to_bin('A'))
65
