Java Encryption & Decryption

Overview

The encryptor and decryper program is for simple messages. Anyone can easily disguise a message and send it to a person with the existing code. So long as the person reciving the message knows the phase direction, the message can be decrypted using the same program. This project was developed as part of my ICS coursework at UH Manoa.

Technologies Used

• Java Programming Language
• Terminal
• Git Version Control
• Visual Studio

My Role

As the developer on this project, I was responsible for:

• Designing the encrypter and decrypter
• Implementing the user message phase
• Creating the basic UI
• Testing and debugging the program

Challenges & Solutions

One of the main challenges was to get the program done as soon as possible. I was helping my friend decode messages in his ICS class.

I offered immediate assistance and was able to create a running program within a few minutes.

Key Features

• Decrypt simple encrypted messages
• Encrypt simple decrypted messages
