This Python app provides a utility to encrypt and decrypt text-based files securely using a password-based encryption mechanism. It consists leveraging PBKDF2-HMAC (password based key derivation function,Hash Message Authentication Code) and Fernet encryption schemes.

Classes

app(): is the main class that invokes the appropirate class

Encrypter(): takes two parameters 1.file to encrypt 2. string based password

Decrypter(): takes two parameters 1.encrypted file 2.password

Usage

install cryptography library, pyca/cryptography : python cryptography run pip install cryptography

to encrypt

run python app.py file_to_encrypt.txt password

to decrypt

run python app.py encrypted_file.txt password
