1. Introduction
This project focuses on developing a secure file transfer application using Python. The
application uses encryption techniques to ensure that the data transferred between systems
remains confidential and unaltered.

2. Objectives
- To protect the confidentiality and integrity of files during transfer.
- To apply symmetric encryption using Fernet.
- To demonstrate basic networking using Python’s socket programming.
- To understand and implement real-world cybersecurity practices.

3. Tools and Technologies Used


Tool Purpose

Python Programming language

VS Code Code editor

Cryptography lib Encryption (Fernet)

Socket module Network file transfer

Kali Linux / Windows Operating System

4. Project Description

Encryption Logic:
The file is encrypted using Fernet symmetric encryption from the `cryptography` module in
Python. A key is generated and used both for encryption and decryption.

File Transfer Process:


The sender encrypts a file and sends it over the network using a socket. The receiver
receives the encrypted file and decrypts it using the shared secret key.

5. Implementation Steps
Step 1: Install Python and Tools

- Installed Python 3.12 from the official website


- Installed `cryptography` using: pip install cryptography

Step 2: Created secret.txt

- File content: “This is a confidential file.”

Step 3: Sender Program

- Reads secret.txt, encrypts it and sends via socket to receiver

Step 4: Receiver Program

- Waits for incoming connection, decrypts data and saves as received_file.txt

6. Code Explanation

sender.py Highlights:
- Generates key and saves to secret.key
- Reads the file to encrypt
- Uses Fernet to encrypt content
- Sends encrypted content to receiver

receiver.py Highlights:
- Loads the encryption key
- Listens for connections
- Receives encrypted content
- Decrypts and stores file as received_file.txt

7. Output Screenshots
✅ Screenshot Ideas:
- Terminal showing `python sender.py` and `File sent successfully`
- Terminal showing `python receiver.py` and `File received and decrypted`
- Contents of `secret.txt` and `received_file.txt`
- Your code in VS Code editor
- Folder structure showing `secret.key`, `secret.txt`, and `received_file.txt`

8. Conclusion
This project successfully demonstrates how secure file transfer can be achieved using
Python. With basic socket programming and encryption, we ensured that data remains
private and tamper-proof during transmission.
