String Encryption

Inspiration

Our inspiration for this project was from both the guest speaker Manish Pandit as well as our own interest in cybersecurity. We thought it would be a good way to learn a new language as well as to gain a light understanding of how passwords are protected.

What it does

This program encodes any string you entered or decodes any string you enter based on a specific value that you also enter.

How we built it

We built the program using Python with many trials and errors.

Challenges we ran into

Some challenges that we ran into were:

Syntax error
Python language proficiency

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The accomplishment that we were proud of is the completion of the project. We initially spent most of our time following Python tutorials and documentaries to learn about this new language and used a lot of time. But in the end, we were able to think of an idea and convert that into code just in time.

What we learned

The most important thing we learned at this hackathon was Python. We applied the skills gained from the guest speaker, Manish Pandit, and tackled the Python language. Although we faced difficulties and challenges we were able to overcome them. We followed python documentaries, tutorials, and example codes to overcome our difficulties as well as to learn about Python.

What's next

The next step in our journey to learn Python would be OOP. Object-oriented programming is very hard but useful. This allows for more complicated projects as well as better programming style, enabling us to improve in the world of programming.
