This repository contains an in-depth study and analysis of the Baksheesh Cipher, alongside a software implementation that demonstrates its practical use in encrypting and compressing folders. The software enables users to zip and encrypt folders as well as decrypt and unzip them securely.
The Baksheesh Cipher is a custom encryption technique that ensures data confidentiality and integrity. Our work includes:
- A thorough analysis of the cipher's principles, design, and security properties.
- An exploration of its strengths and areas of applicability in modern encryption scenarios.
- A practical implementation that highlights its real-world use.
The software implementation of the Baksheesh Cipher can be found in the software folder. It includes:
- zipEncrypt.py: Zips a folder and encrypts it using the Baksheesh Cipher.
- decryptUnzip.py: Decrypts the encrypted file and unzips it back to its original structure.
