🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7 or higher
• pip (Python package installer)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/naitikoss/Project_voult.git
cd Project_voult

2. Install required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Run the application:

🔧 Core Components

Authentication System (auth/)

Handles user registration, login, and session management to ensure only authorized users can access the vault.

Cryptography Module (crypto/)

Implements encryption and decryption algorithms to secure your files. Uses industry-standard cryptographic practices to ensure data confidentiality.

Database Layer (database/)

Manages all data persistence including user credentials, file metadata, and vault configurations using SQLite.

User Interface (gui/)

Provides an intuitive graphical interface for interacting with the vault, making file management simple and accessible.

Vault Storage (vault/)

Core functionality for storing, retrieving, and managing encrypted files within the secure vault structure.

Utilities (utils/)

Contains helper functions and common utilities used across the application for various operations.

Logging System (logs/)

Tracks all vault activities, errors, and system events for audit trails and debugging purposes.

🛡️ Security Features

• Strong Encryption: Files are encrypted before being stored to disk
• Secure Authentication: Password-based authentication system
• Activity Monitoring: All vault operations are logged for security auditing
• Data Integrity: Ensures your files remain uncorrupted and tamper-proof

📝 Usage

1. First Time Setup

   • Launch the application
   • Create a new account with a strong password
   • Your master password will be used to encrypt/decrypt your files

2. Adding Files

   • Log in to your vault
   • Select files to add
   • Files are automatically encrypted and stored securely

3. Retrieving Files

   • Browse your vault through the GUI
   • Select files to decrypt and retrieve
   • Files are decrypted on-the-fly when accessed

4. Managing Your Vault

   • Organize files within your vault
   • View activity logs
   • Manage your account settings

⚠️ Important Notes

• Never forget your master password: Without it, your encrypted files cannot be recovered
• Keep backups: While your files are encrypted, consider backing up the vault directory
• Secure your system: Ensure your computer is free from malware to maintain vault security
