AES-LOCKER

Encrypt and decrypt any type of files using AES

About the project:

• This script can be used to encrypt and decrypt any file using AES algorithm.
• The password entered by the user is converted to 256 bit key using SHA256 hashing algorithm.
• The key is then used to generate an initialization vector(IV) and encrypt/decrypt a file.
• The project uses this cryptography library.
