Symmetric Cipher Tool 🔐

A Django-powered web application that provides a suite of symmetric encryption and decryption tools. Supports classical ciphers like Caesar, Vigenère, Playfair, Single Columnar, and Double Columnar, as well as the modern AES cipher.

Features

• User-friendly interface for encryption and decryption.
• Support for both classical and modern symmetric ciphers.
• Light/Dark mode toggle for better accessibility.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to set up the Symmetric Cipher Tool on your local machine.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed on your system:

• Python 3.8 or higher
• pip (Python package installer)
• Git

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/celsopuerto/Symmetric-Cipher.git
   cd Symmetric-Cipher
   

2. Create a virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv
   

3. Activate the virtual environment: On Windows:

   venv\Scripts\activate
   

On macOS/Linux: ```bash

source venv/bin/activate

4. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

5. Apply database migrations:

    python manage.py migrate
   

6. Run the development server:

   python manage.py runserver
   

7. Open your browser and navigate to:

   http://127.0.0.1:8000/
   
   

Usage
