rcac-encrpt's Introduction
# RC4 Encryption and Decryption Program The RC4 Encryption and Decryption Program is a simple application that allows you to encrypt and decrypt messages using the RC4 encryption algorithm. It provides two modes of operation: 1. Encrypt and Decrypt a Message from a Text File. 2. Encrypt and Decrypt a Manually Entered Message. ## Prerequisites Before using this program, ensure that you have the following: - A C++ compiler capable of compiling C++11 or later. - A text file for reading and writing messages (for option 1). - Basic knowledge of the RC4 encryption algorithm. ## Getting Started 1. Clone or download the source code to your local machine. 2. Compile the program using your C++ compiler. For example: ```sh g++ -std=c++11 rc4.cpp -o rc4 ``` Replace `g++` with your C++ compiler command if necessary. 3. Run the compiled program: ```sh ./rc4 ``` ## Usage The program provides two options: ### Option 1: Encrypt and Decrypt a Message from a Text File - Enter '1' when prompted. - Provide the following information: - Key file name: Enter the name of the file containing the encryption key. - Input file name: Enter the name of the file containing the plaintext message. - Output file name: Enter the name of the file where the ciphertext will be saved. ### Option 2: Encrypt and Decrypt a Manually Entered Message - Enter '2' when prompted. - Enter the encryption key (between 5 and 32 bytes) when prompted. - Enter the message to encrypt/decrypt. ## Important Notes - The RC4 encryption algorithm is sensitive to the key length. Ensure that your key is between 5 and 32 bytes long. - For option 1, the program reads the key and plaintext message from files and writes the ciphertext to a file. - For option 2, the program allows you to manually enter the key and message and provides the encrypted result.
