Camouflage Shield

Camouflage Shield is a Windows Form application designed for sensitive image storage in an encrypted format. The project employs various encryption and hashing algorithms to ensure secure user authentication and image protection.

Features

• User signup with OTP verification (for demonstration purposes).
• Strong password enforcement during user registration.
• Multi-algorithm image encryption (AES, DES, 3DES, RC2, Rijndael).
• Image storage in Base64 format with encryption details.
• Copy and view encrypted image codes.
• Hash text encrypter supporting MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512.

Prerequisites

• Visual Studio (for running the project).
• .NET Framework.

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository.
2. Open the project in Visual Studio.
3. Build and run the application.

Usage

• Launch the application and sign up for a new account.
• Log in with your credentials.
• Encrypt and save images using different algorithms.
• Copy the encrypted image code.
• View encrypted images using the proper algorithm and key after entering the proper image code.
• Use the hash text encrypter for text-based encryption. (used for demonstartion in case Database not is accessable)

Limitations UPDATED.. New version do not contain these

• Avoid high-resolution or very complex images (limited to 1MB).
• The application may face challenges with large volumes of data generated while image processing.

Limatations

• Dynamic updation limitation (need to re-start application to login, image encrypted code is visible only after re-start)
• Useer profile may not show any text for encryption but can be copy pasted for decrypting and viewing the image.

Security Considerations

• Passwords are hashed using MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512
• Multi-algorithm image encryption using AES, DES, 3DES, RC2, Rijndael.

Note:

• MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 are used for encrypting and storing the login credentials data, but for understanding purposes the hash text button is used.
• (MD5 and SHA1 are low level algorithm for data storing so not used in real world application, but used here for diversity in algorithms)
• Also for reference, actual error message are kept visible along with implementational error message.
