How to run

Install dependencies

It requires Python and Pycryptodomehttp://pycryptodome.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/introduction.html
You can get Pycryptodome by running "pip install pycryptodome"
You should do it in a virtual enviorment if you already have pycrypto as it is a fork of pycrypto and they might interfeare with each other in unexpted ways

Encryption step

• Download the files
• From terminal, run "python AFET.py"
• It will guide you through the process
• You have to remember the passpharase you use to encrypt the file in order to decrypt it later

Decryption step

• From terminal, run "python AFDT.py"
• It will guide you through the process
