Emcrypt a File

Write a script that encrypts and decrypts a file!

Comment

Inspiration

It was first a task, then i got more interested and curious... now i want to work more on this project.

What it does

It allows users to encrypt and decrypt files using the Fernet symmetric encryption algorithm.

How we built it

So, it was built using Python & the cryptography library

Challenges we ran into

  1. when encrypting at first i made a little mistake and instead of it saving the encrypted file as another file it overwrites, but i fixed it.
  2. Also, i had to replace the encrypt file suffix '_encrypt' with an '_decrypt', got stuck but after much googling it worked.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  1. It Works.
  2. I worked on it solo and i'm proud i could pull it off lol. (i know it's tagged BEGINNER, i know lol)

What we learned

  1. Got to really go deep to learn how the Fernet symmetric encryption algorithm works.
  2. Brush up on my python skill.

What's next for Emcrypt a File

i'm thinking a personal project... want to level it up (Frontend, DataBase)
