String-Encryption

This project provides a Python-based solution for encrypting and decrypting strings using a combination of ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) and AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). The encryption process ensures both the confidentiality and integrity of the data.

• cryptography library

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/rawrmonster17/string-encryption.git
   cd string-encryption

2. Create a virtual environment and activate it:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use `venv\Scripts\activate`

3. Install the required packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Encrypting a String

To encrypt a string, use the -e option followed by the string you want to encrypt:

python3 ./string-encryption.py -e "Your secret message"

Decryption a String

To decrypt a string, use the '-d' option followed by the string you want to decrypt:

python3 ./string-encryption.py -d "Your encrypted string"
