Inspiration

Our inspiration is based on the biography of Alan turing from the movie "The Imitation Game". Where the plot was based on breaking the encryption of enigma using the turing machine.

What it does

The application we created converts every character of the file to Ascii values. Thereby further changing it into another value based on the famous Einstein equation E=mc^2. where m=ascii value of the character and c=minute of time(when it was created).

How I built it

We used a formula that has a variable constant in it in order to encrypt a file and this is all implemented by python GUI library tkinter. The library was used to make a small GUI application which gives users a simple interface in order to encrypt a local file.

Challenges I ran into

As it was our first Hackathon we encountered a lot of errors and debugging process. Our project posed a challenge to store the used time key without others seeing it. Hence it took a reasonable amount of time to figure it out.And the final hop included the process of incorporating everything into our GUI.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Even though the project looks simple we believe its quite tough to break through the encryption without knowing the key variables and what equation it is based on.For which we are proud .

What I learned

We learnt a lot on manipulating Ascii and time modules in it.And some principle knowledge in cryptography.

What's next for File encrypted

The next goal of our project is to increase the randomness and frequency of encryption. So it changes its value after a particular period of time based on a particular key and to improve security.
