Repository: gui-encryption-tool-repo
Purpose: A Tkinter-based GUI application for encrypting and decrypting text using Base64 encoding.
⚠️ Intended for educational purposes only — not secure for real-world cryptography.

• 🖥️ Simple GUI built with Tkinter.
• 🔑 Password-protected (default key: qazwsx).
• 🔒 Encrypt text (Base64 encoding).
• 🔓 Decrypt text back to original form.
• 🔄 Reset functionality.

1. Install Python 3.8+
2. Run directly:

   python encryptionanddescriptiontool.py

3. GUI window will open for text encryption & decryption.

(Add GUI screenshots here after running the app)

1. Enter text into the text box.
2. Enter password: qazwsx
3. Click ENCRYPT or DECRYPT.

• Base64 is NOT secure encryption — it is only encoding.
• The password is hardcoded and weak (qazwsx).
• For real-world cryptography use strong algorithms (AES, RSA, etc.).

See SECURITY.md for details.

• Replace Base64 with AES encryption.
• Add password-based key derivation.
• Improve GUI design.
• Add file encryption support.
