The safeguarding of sensitive data is becoming more and more important as the digital world changes. In our project CipherVault, we implement the TwoFish algorithm in Python to create a secure file management application.

I. Description
Our project introduces a novel approach by applying the Two Fish encryption algorithm to an entire text file within the file manager. Previous works have primarily focused on utilizing this algorithm for a single string. However, our implementation extends its application to handle text files, allowing for enhanced security and encryption capabilities. This innovative approach enables the efficient and secure encryption of large volumes of text data within the file manager, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of the information stored.
Python, with its extensive collection of modules makes it an apt choice for our project.
Modules used:
| FUNCTION | MODULES USED |
|---|---|
| GUI | Tkinter, easygui |
| File Handling | Os, shutil |
| Cryptography | Twofish |
| System Operations | Subprocess, psutil |
| Time Operations | Time, datetime |
| Database Connectivity | mysql,connector |
| Emails | smtplib |
| OTP & 2FA | pyotp |
Database used to store passwords: MySQL
A database FileExplorer is created to store static data received upon initialising the application- the Passwords and Access Time.
