VaultCrypt

● Description of Project:
VaultCrypt is a cryptography application to encrypt and
decrypt the string using encryption algorithm that is Caesar Cypher. Cryptography
application in C++ involve implementing algorithms and techniques for securing
communication, ensuring data integrity, and protecting sensitive information.

o Objectives:
 Data Confidentiality
 Data Integrity
 Authentication
 Secure Communication
 Digital Signatures and Non-Repudiation
 Access Control and Secure Systems

o Contribution to the Field of Computer Science:

 VaultCrypt allows the encryption of data so that only those with the proper key can
decrypt and access it. This is crucial in protecting sensitive information such as
personal data, financial records, or trade secrets.
 Cryptographic hash functions (e.g., SHA-256, MD5) are used to verify the integrity
of data. Any modification to the original data will result in a completely different
hash, allowing systems to detect tampering or corruption.
 Cryptographic techniques such as digital signatures and public key infrastructure
(PKI) are used to authenticate users or systems, ensuring that they are who they
claim to be.
 Cryptography is fundamental for creating secure communication protocols like
SSL/TLS, VPNs (Virtual Private Networks), and end-to-end encryption used in
messaging applications.
 Digital signatures, created using cryptographic algorithms, provide proof of
authorship and prevent parties from denying sending a message or approving a
transaction.
 Cryptographic techniques, such as public key infrastructure (PKI) or zero-knowledge
proofs, are used to implement secure authentication mechanisms.

o Result:
 Encrypted Files.
 Decrypted Files.
