Java Encryption & Decryption

Overview

The encryptor and decrypter 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 receiving the message knows the phrase 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
• VI
• Git

My Role

• Designing the encrypter and decrypter
• Implementing the user message phrase
• 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.
