Encryption / Decryption Tool v2

This program allows you to easily perform file encryption and decryption operations. You can securely encrypt your files and decrypt them whenever you need.

Features
  • AES-256 Encryption: Secure file encryption algorithm.
  • Command-Line Usage: Fast and efficient operation.
  • Right-Click Menu Integration: Easily encrypt or decrypt files via the right-click menu.
  • User-Provided Password and Salt Value: Enhances security.
  • Error Management: Handles scenarios such as missing files, incorrect passwords, or salts.

Usage
The program offers 2 methods of use.

First Method (Installation):
  • Run the program and respond «yes» to the installation prompt that appears in the console screen.
  • The installation will be completed quickly.
  • Once installed, you can easily use it in the Windows environment by right-clicking any file to access the options «Encrypt File» for encryption or «Decrypt File» for encrypted files.


Second Method (Drag-and-Drop Encryption/Decryption):
  • Drag and drop any file with any extension onto the encrypt.exe file. A console screen will open, prompting you to enter a password and salt value.
  • To decrypt an encrypted file, drag and drop a .enc file onto the encrypt.exe file and enter the previously set password and salt value.

How It Works
  • The user is prompted to securely enter a password and salt value.
  • An AES-256 key is generated using the password and salt information.
  • The file is encrypted.
  • The hash value of the original file is calculated and appended to the file.
  • The file is encrypted using the AES algorithm.
  • Information such as the Initialization Vector (IV) and the original file extension is prepended to the encrypted file.
  • A New File is Created: The encrypted file is saved with a .enc extension, and the original file is deleted.
  • The encrypted file does not store the password and salt values themselves but instead stores the hash of the user-entered password and salt.

Important Notes
  • If you forget the password, you will no longer be able to open your encrypted files. Therefore, it is important to securely store your password.
  • The program can encrypt any type of file without restrictions on file extension or size. Encrypting large files may take a considerable amount of time. For example, encrypting a 5GB file takes about 30 seconds. Of course, this time will vary depending on your computer's hardware.
  • The original file extension will be lost during encryption. For example, when you encrypt test.txt, the new file will be named test.enc with the .enc extension.
  • The program is completely open-source. You can download it from the repository, make any changes using Visual Studio, and compile it for your use.
