/Ecryption-RSA-ElGamal

Encryption-Decryption system using RSA and ElGamal

Primary LanguageC++

Ecryption-RSA-ElGamal

Requirements

g++ or any other C++ compiler with standard libraries

How to run

  • RSA

    • Navigate to the RSA subfoler using a terminal and run the following command (switch ./ to .\ for Windows)

      $ g++ *.cpp -o RSA-Cipher; ./RSA-Cipher

    • The program will prompt you to enter a string to encrypt. This is done to verify the encoding and encryption functions are working as defined in the project requirements. Type DOG CAT ZZZ to see the expected output from the requirements.

    • The program will proceed to read and decrypt the message.txt file in the RSA directory.

  • ElGamal

    • Navigate to the ElGamal subfoler using a terminal and run the following command (switch ./ to .\ for Windows)

      $ g++ *.cpp -o ElGamal-Cipher; ./ElGamal-Cipher

    • The program will autonomously read the file and compute the decryption key to decrypt the file based on the parameters given inn the project requirement
