CryptoTools is a WinUI 3 application that offers a variety of tools for cryptography. It is written in C# and uses .NET 8.0.
The application is divided into 6 tabs:
- Zip: Compression and decompression of ZIP files
- Hashing: Hashing of text and files using MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512
- Encryption: Visualization of encrypted and decrypted images
- Privacy: Encryption and decryption of files using AES, DES, TripleDES, RC2, and RSA
- Integrity: File integrity checking using MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512
- Signature: Digital signature creation and verification using AES, DES, TripleDES, RC2, and RSA
- Chatting: A fully encrypted chatroom that uses AES for encryption, RSA for key exchange, and HMAC-SHA256 for message authentication
The solution contains 3 projects:
- CryptoTools: The main project that contains the user interface and the client-side logic
- CryptoServer: A server that handles the requests from the client and stores the data in a database
- CryptoLib: A library that contains the logic for cryptography and database operations, as well as the models for the database
- CryptoTools
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.
