🔒 Encryption and Decryption Program

This is a Python program that uses the cryptography library's Fernet method for encryption and decryption. It provides a simple command-line interface to choose between encrypting and decrypting a message.

🚀 Features

• Encrypt any message using the Fernet encryption method.
• Decrypt any previously encrypted message using the same method.
• Automatically generates and uses a secret key for encryption and decryption.

📦 Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/encryption-decryption.git
   cd encryption-decryption
   

2. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install cryptography
   

🛠️ Usage

1. Run the program:

   python main.py
   

2. Choose between encryption (E) and decryption (D):

   • For encryption, enter the message you want to encrypt.
   • For decryption, enter the encrypted message.

🔑 Key Management

• The program generates a secret.key file if it doesn't exist.
• This key is used for both encryption and decryption.
• Keep the secret.key file safe. Losing this file will make it impossible to decrypt any messages encrypted with it.

📄 Example

Choose (E)ncrypt or (D)ecrypt: E
Enter the message to encrypt: Hello, world!
Encrypted message: gAAAAABeJc2V-MvhF7L3qfjzIHHGJ9tF5MEP3Gj2Pi8Y5kbU6iE4z6MSv1JazbTtXRXFwG1Y1NRpkRznlx0Kigc=

Choose (E)ncrypt or (D)ecrypt: D
Enter the message to decrypt: gAAAAABeJc2V-MvhF7L3qfjzIHHGJ9tF5MEP3Gj2Pi8Y5kbU6iE4z6MSv1JazbTtXRXFwG1Y1NRpkRznlx0Kigc=
Decrypted message: Hello, world!
