Abstract
Secure Folder FS is an open-source Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking project. Powerful, secure, modern way to keep your files protected. SecureFolderFS helps you keep your files private. SecureFolderFS lets you safeguard your data with cutting-edge cryptographic algorithms that seamlessly secure your data thanks to the app's 'on-the-fly' encryption. It is built using C#. The complete source code is publicly available on GitHub under the MIT License, making it a useful reference for students building a Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking mini project or final-year project.
1. Introduction
SecureFolderFS helps you keep your files private. SecureFolderFS lets you safeguard your data with cutting-edge cryptographic algorithms that seamlessly secure your data thanks to the app's 'on-the-fly' encryption.
This groundbreaking approach allows SecureFolderFS to achieve exceptional performance without sacrificing security.
SecureFolderFS cannot provide anyone with the decryption keys to your vaults without your credentials. This ensures that your data will always remain secure.
2. Objective
Powerful, secure, modern way to keep your files protected.
This project demonstrates how C# can be applied to a real-world Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking problem.
