File Encryptor

File Encryptor is a C++ application that allows users to encrypt and decrypt files in a specified directory.

Features

• Recursive directory traversal
• File encryption and decryption
• Command-line interface for user input
• Process management for handling multiple files

Prerequisites

• C++17 compatible compiler (e.g., GCC, Clang, MSVC)
• Make (for building the project)

Building the Project

To build the project, navigate to the project directory and run:

This will create two executables:

• encrypt_decrypt: The main application
• cryption: A standalone encryption/decryption tool

Usage

Main Application

Run the encrypt_decrypt executable:

You will be prompted to enter:

1. The directory path containing files to encrypt/decrypt
2. The action to perform (encrypt or decrypt)

Standalone Cryption Tool

Run the cryption executable:

(Note: Additional usage instructions for the standalone tool may be needed)

Project Structure

• main.cpp: Entry point for the main application
• src/app/processes/: Contains process management code
• src/app/fileHandling/: Handles file I/O operations
• src/app/encryptDecrypt/: Contains encryption and decryption logic

Configuration

The encryption key is stored as an environment variable. Make sure to set this variable before running the application.

Cleaning the Project

To remove all built files: make clean
