This is a Python script that creates a graphical user interface (GUI) for encrypting and decrypting text using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm. Here's a breakdown of the code:
Importing modules
The script starts by importing the necessary modules:
tkinter (aliased as tk) for creating the GUI cryptography.fernet for AES encryption and decryption AES key generation and cipher suite initialization
The script defines three functions related to AES:
generate_aes_key(): generates a random AES key using the Fernet.generate_key() method initialize_cipher_suite(key): initializes a cipher suite with the given AES key using the Fernet() constructor encrypt_text(text, cipher_suite): encrypts the given text using the cipher suite decrypt_text(encrypted_text, cipher_suite): decrypts the given encrypted text using the cipher suite GUI creation
The components of this Script: A main window with a title "Text Encryption" A label with the title "Text Encryption and Decryption" A label frame for the input field with a text widget and a scrollbar A frame for the buttons (Encrypt, Decrypt, and Clear) A label frame for the output field with a text widget and a scrollbar Button functions
The script defines three functions that are called when the corresponding buttons are clicked:
perform_encryption(): generates an AES key, encrypts the input text, and displays the encrypted text and AES key in the output field perform_decryption(): extracts the AES key and encrypted text from the input field, decrypts the text, and displays the decrypted text in the output field clear(): clears the input and output fields
How it is Works: Users input text, encrypt it with AES, view and copy the result. To decrypt, they paste the encrypted text and key, then decrypt. All data can be cleared. (Note: This is a basic implementation without error handling or advanced security.)
