File Safe

File Safe is a secure, cross-platform file and folder encryption tool built with C++ and Qt 6. It utilizes robust AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption to ensure both confidentiality and integrity of your data.

🔒 Key Features

• Strong Encryption: Uses AES-256-GCM (Galois/Counter Mode) for authenticated encryption.
• Secure Key Derivation: Implements PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 with 600,000 iterations and a random salt to protect against brute-force attacks.
• Data Integrity: Verifies authentication tags to detect any tampering with encrypted files.
• 3 Modes of Operation:
  • Single File: Encrypt/Decrypt individual files with options to delete original or garbel filenames.
  • Folder: Batch encrypt/decrypt entire directories.
  • Text: Encrypt/Decrypt raw text directly within the app.
• Modern UI: Dark mode interface with high-contrast text and intuitive design.
• Password Security: Built-in password strength validation (min. 6 chars) and "Peek" visibility toggles.
