The Enigma Encryption Machine is a C++ program that implements the famous Enigma encryption machine from the era of encryption machines. The program allows you to encrypt arbitrary files using the Enigma algorithm. It provides a console interface and supports various features such as file encryption, machine configuration, and state saving.
The Enigma Encryption Machine has the following dependencies:
- C++17 compiler
- CMake (minimum version 3.5)
To build the Enigma Encryption Machine, follow these steps:
- Open a terminal.
- Navigate to the root directory of the project.
- Run the following command:
make buildThis command will compile the source code and create an executable file named "Enigma" in the bin directory.
To use the Enigma Encryption Machine, follow these steps:
- Make sure you have successfully built the program.
- Open a terminal.
- Navigate to the
bindirectory. - Run the following command:
./EnigmaReplace <file_path> in the app with the absolute path to the file you want to encrypt.
The program will encrypt the file using the Enigma algorithm and save the encrypted file as <source_file_name>_encoded in the same directory as the source file.
If you want to contribute to the development of the Enigma Encryption Machine, follow these steps:
- Clone the GitHub repository:
git clone https://github.com/your-username/enigma.git- Navigate to the project directory:
cd enigma-
Make the necessary changes to the source code or add new features.
-
Build the program using the following command:
make build- Test the program using the following command:
make tests- If all tests pass successfully, you can commit your changes and push them to the repository:
git commit -am "Add new features"
git push- Create a pull request on GitHub to merge your changes into the main repository.
