Gain insights into the core principles of data confidentiality and how encryption operates under the hood. You can bridge the gap between abstract cryptographic concepts and real-world applications. This project is valuable for learners and educators who seek alternatives to complex or GUI-based tools that obscure the actual process of securing data.
In this project, you’ll develop a simple Bash-based encryption tool to understand how encryption works by implementing AES-256 encryption directly in the terminal. This project focuses on developing a user-friendly command-line tool that performs basic encryption and decryption tasks using the AES-256 standard. You will use utilities like OpenSSL, along with Bash scripting logic, to prompt users for input, process files or text, and apply secure encryption methods. The project is designed to be completed in approximately 4–6 hours.
