User Documentation

User Documentation

Our CryptTool has the functionality to en- and decrypt files. How you can use it or achieve it, we describe in the following:

1. As you start the program. Our user can choose between four options:

   • 1st: You want to encrypt a file.

   • 2nd: You want to decrypt a file.

   • 3rd: You want to create a key for the en- or decryption.

   • 4th: Exit Tool

2. After that the user gets an overview of his drives. The user have to chose a drive, on which his Decrypt/Encrypt Key is stored.

3. Also, its necessary to tell the program in which path your file is saved. For example: C:\CryptTool\ImportantDocument.txt

   • Be aware not to type double slash instead of a single one.

4.1 On encrypt mode, an encrypted file will be created with the file extension .encrypted
4.2 On decrypt mode, a new folder will be created with the name "Decrypted", where the decrypted file is then located
