Cryptex

Encryption and Decryption Tool (AES)

This is a simple Python script for encrypting and decrypting files using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm. The script provides a command-line interface and includes options for encrypting individual files, decrypting files, and performing bulk encryption and decryption in a directory.

Features

• AES encryption and decryption with key-based authentication
• Options to encrypt and decrypt individual files
• Bulk encryption and decryption for all files in a directory
• Password-based authentication for added security
• Progress bars using the tqdm library

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• Required Python libraries (Crypto, tqdm, termcolor)

Usage

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/encryption-tool.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd encryption-tool

3. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run the script:

   python script.py

Password Setup

• If the password.txt.enc file is not found, the script will guide you through the setup process, allowing you to either generate a random password or manually set one.

Caution
