Inspiration

Global Hack Week: Security and my passion inspired me to build this project

What it does

It encrypts and decrypts the file selected by the user. It has a graphical user interface to make the process easy for the user.

How we built it

I built it using python libraries like tkinter and cryptography.

Challenges we ran into

Initially, I had issues coding the decrypt function and conversion of key from string into bytes.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I feel this is the first time, I have developed a GUI application in python.

What we learned

I learnt how encryption and decryption works in python and how easy it is to design a graphical user interface.

What's next for Encrypt_Decrypt File

I feel this still has some problems. Firstly, I am not asking for user input for the key and secondly the file can only be decrypted once it has been encrypted in each run of the program. I would want to look into these problems in future.

Built With
