KeySafeBox is a simple and secure password manager application designed to help users manage their passwords efficiently. It allows users to store, retrieve, and manage their passwords in an encrypted database. The application includes features such as password generation, encryption/decryption of password databases, and user-friendly command-line interactions.
- Password Generation: Generate strong and secure passwords based on user preferences.
- Encryption/Decryption: Securely encrypt and decrypt password databases using cryptographic methods.
- Database Management: Add, delete, and view entries in the password database.
- User Interaction: Simple command-line interface for easy interaction.
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/Firasbenmansour/KeySafeBox.git
- Navigate to the project directory:
cd KeySafeBox - Install the required dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Run the main script:
python main.py
- Follow the on-screen prompts to interact with the password manager.
main.py: Main script to run the password manager.CheckDatabase.py: Contains functions to check and manage the password database.CreateDatabase.py: contains the database creation function.utils.py: Contains other utility functions such as password generation, database refresher and a secure deletion function.encryptionDecryption.py: Contains functions to encrypt and decrypt the password database.requirements.txt: List of required Python packages.
The encryption and decryption of the password database are handled using the pycryptodome library. The following methods are used:
- Symmetric Encryption: The database is encrypted using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), a symmetric key encryption algorithm.
- Key Derivation: A key is derived from the user's password using a key derivation function (KDF) such as PBKDF2 (Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2). This ensures that the key is both strong and unique.
- Initialization Vector (IV): A unique IV is generated for each encryption operation to ensure that identical plaintexts yield different ciphertexts.
- Key Derivation: The same key derivation process is used to regenerate the encryption key from the user's password.
- Symmetric Decryption: The database is decrypted using the derived key and the IV, restoring the original data.
