Encryption Tool using Tkinter and SQLite

Overview

This is a Python-based encryption and decryption tool with a graphical user interface (GUI) built using Tkinter. It supports multiple encryption algorithms, allowing users to encrypt and decrypt text using various ciphers. The application also includes a database feature to store encryption results.

Features

• Supported Ciphers:
  • Morse Code
  • Caesar Cipher
  • Vigenère Cipher
  • Atbash Cipher
  • Polybius Square Cipher
• User-Friendly Interface:
  • Encrypt and decrypt text easily with a Tkinter-based GUI.
• Database Storage:
  • Stores encryption results in an SQLite database for future reference.

Requirements

Ensure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.x
• Tkinter (included with Python)
• SQLite3 (included with Python)

Installation

1. Clone the repository or download the script files.

   git clone https://github.com/your-repo/encryption-tool.git
   cd encryption-tool

2. Install required dependencies (if any):

   pip install tk

3. Run the application:

   python encryption_tool.py

Usage

1. Open the application.
2. Enter the text to encrypt or decrypt.
3. Select the encryption method.
4. Click the Encrypt or Decrypt button.
5. View the results in the application.
6. The encrypted data will be stored in the SQLite database.

Cipher Explanations

• Morse Code: Converts text to and from Morse code.
• Caesar Cipher: A shift cipher where letters are shifted by a fixed amount.
• Vigenère Cipher: A polyalphabetic substitution cipher using a key.
• Atbash Cipher: A simple substitution cipher that reverses the alphabet.
• Polybius Square Cipher: A cipher that replaces each letter with coordinates in a 5x5 grid.

Database Structure

The application uses SQLite to store encrypted messages. The database schema includes:

• id (Primary Key)
• original_text (Text before encryption)
• encrypted_text (Result after encryption)
• cipher_used (Type of cipher used)

Future Improvements

• Add more encryption algorithms.
• Implement a user authentication system.
• Enhance the UI with modern design elements.
