ShowcaseAES Algorithm using Python (self.Python)

submitted by FreedomOdd4991

Construction of the project

Well its a project from school, an advanced one, way more advanced than it should be normally.

It's been about 6 years since I've started coding and this project is a big one, its complexity made it a bit hard to code and explain in a google docs I had to do to explain all of my project (everything is in french btw). This project took me around a week or so to do and im really proud of it!

Content of the algorithm

This project includes all big steps of the algorithm like the roundKeys, diffusion method and confusion method. However, it isn't like the original algorithm because it's way too hard for me to understand it all but I tried my best to make a good replica of this algorithm.

There is a pop-up window (using PyQt5) as well for the user experience that i find kind of nice

Target Audience

Even though this project was just meant for school, it could still be used some company to encrypt sensitive data I believe because Im sure that even if this is not the same algorithm, mine still encrypt data very efficiently.

Source code

Here is the link to my source code on github: https://github.com/TuturGabao/AES-Algorithm
It contains everything like my doc on how the project was made.
Im not used to github so I didn't add a requirement file to tell you which packages to install..

Hi there, from the /r/Python mods.

We want to emphasize that while security-centric programs are fun project spaces to explore we do not recommend that they be treated as a security solution unless they’ve been audited by a third party, security professional and the audit is visible for review.

Security is not easy. And making project to learn how to manage it is a great idea to learn about the complexity of this world. That said, there’s a difference between exploring and learning about a topic space, and trusting that a product is secure for sensitive materials in the face of adversaries.

We hope you enjoy projects like these from a safety conscious perspective.

Warm regards and all the best for your future Pythoneering,

pygame and PyQt5? Why both as dependency?

Keys and data are usually stored as byte objects and converted to a hex notation only if human eyes are involved.

It's a school project. For learning, for fun. A company won't and shouldn't use your project to encrypt data. They will use OpenSSL or any implementation of it. What makes you think your implementation is efficient? Cryptography in pure Python is never as efficient as the libraries written and optimized for low level instructions.

No AI. You really want to learn programming. That's what you really can be proud of.

Neat! I remember one of my first big encryption projects (when I was learning to code) was implementing CRC32 in visual basic (I know... VB... It was like 1998. That's "what we had to work with back then.")
