File Encryption and Decryption Tool

A JavaFX desktop application for securely encrypting and decrypting files using AES encryption with password-based access control.

Features

• AES Encryption – Industry-standard symmetric encryption for strong file security
• Password Protection – Files can only be decrypted with the correct password
• JavaFX GUI – Clean, interactive desktop interface
• Any File Type – Encrypt/decrypt any file format

How It Works

Encrypting a file:

1. Launch the application
2. Select the file you want to encrypt
3. Enter a password
4. The encrypted file is saved securely

Decrypting a file:

1. Launch the application
2. Select the encrypted file
3. Enter the correct password
4. The original file is restored

Tech Stack

• Java – Core logic
• JavaFX – Desktop UI
• AES – Encryption algorithm (javax.crypto)
