Cryptique is a secure file encryption and decryption tool built with Electron and Node.js. It leverages the cryptographic functionality provided by Node.js's crypto module to perform AES-256-CBC encryption and decryption of files, ensuring that your sensitive data remains protected.
- File Encryption: Securely encrypts files using AES-256-CBC and more algorithms, ensuring that data cannot be accessed without the correct password.
- File Decryption: Decrypts previously encrypted files with the same password used for encryption.
- Progress Reporting: Displays encryption and decryption progress, updating in real-time.
- Error Handling: Comprehensive error reporting to help diagnose issues during the encryption or decryption processes.
Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your system:
- Node.js (v12.0.0 or higher)
- npm (v6.0.0 or higher)
- Electron

$ npm run build:linux- Open the application.
- Switch to the "Encrypt" tab.
- Select a file using the file picker.
- Enter a secure password in the password field.
- Click "Encrypt File" to begin the encryption process.
- The encrypted file will be saved in the same directory as the original file with a .enc extension.
- Open the application.
- Switch to the "Decrypt" tab.
- Select an encrypted file (.enc) using the file picker.
- Enter the password used during encryption.
- Click "Decrypt File" to begin the decryption process.
- The decrypted file will be restored under the same directory as the encrypted file.
