Encryption and Decryption Application

This project is an interactive application for encrypting and decrypting text using various algorithms. It uses an object-oriented approach in Python and provides a user-friendly interface with ipywidgets.

Features

Encryption and Decryption: Supports multiple encryption and decryption algorithms.
Interactive Interface: Uses ipywidgets for a dynamic user interface.
Algorithm Selection: Choose from different encryption algorithms.
Key Selection: Specify encryption/decryption keys.
Save Results: Save encrypted and decrypted text to a file.

Algorithms Implemented

Caesar Cipher
Base64 Encoding
Vigenère Cipher

Prerequisites

Python 3.x
ipywidgets library

You can install ipywidgets using pip:

pip install ipywidgets

Usage

Step 1: Define Encryption Classes

The base class Cipher and subclasses for specific algorithms like CaesarCipher, Base64Cipher, and VigenereCipher are defined. These classes include methods for encryption and decryption.

Step 2: Create the Interactive Interface

The EncryptionApp class sets up the user interface using ipywidgets. The interface includes text boxes for input, dropdowns for algorithm selection, and buttons for encrypting, decrypting, and saving results.

Step 3: Run the Application

Running the Code

Set up your environment: Make sure you have Python and ipywidgets installed.
Run the code: Execute the code in a Jupyter Notebook.
Use the interface: Enter text, select an algorithm, input a key, and click the buttons to encrypt, decrypt, and save results.
