Cipher Utility - Encrypt and Decrypt Data

The Cipher Utility project aims to provide a versatile tool for encrypting and decrypting data using various cipher techniques. By employing methods like the Caesar cipher, the project facilitates secure data transformation to ensure confidentiality.

Project Overview

The Cipher Utility project enables users to:

• Encrypt data by shifting characters forward in the ASCII table.
• Decrypt encrypted data by shifting characters backward in the ASCII table.

How It Works

The program supports the Caesar cipher method as an example. It encrypts text by shifting each character a specific number of positions forward in the ASCII table. For instance, "I am here" encrypted with a shift of 3 positions would become "L#dp#khuh." Decryption involves the reverse process.

Running the Program

To run the program:

1. Clone the repository: $ git clone https://github.com/naa7/cipher_utility.git
2. Navigate to the appropriate directory: $ cd cipher_utility/python_files/
3. Run the program: $ python cipher_utility.py

Optional: Easy Timer Installation

1. Run installer_uninstaller.py:
   • For installer/uninstaller: $ ./installer_uninstaller.py

After installation, you can conveniently use the timer by typing cipher_utility in the terminal or accessing it from the applications menu.

Enhancing Data Security and Privacy

Cipher Utility serves as a valuable tool for individuals seeking to encrypt and decrypt their data securely. By leveraging different cipher techniques, the project contributes to enhancing data security and privacy. Or, open it from applications menu
