Introduction to SCube

Overview
We are four students from the engineering school EPITA, we currently are on our second year of preparatory class and we decided to develop an encryption software bases on the AES.

Our project SCube is developed on the OS linux, SCube features so many functionalities (block cipher, compression, steganography) that it will soon become the number one encryption software.

Specification of SCube
Encryption standard
The first objective of Safe Security System is to provide people with an encryption software able to encrypt texts. In order to realize this software we will use the Rijndael encryption standard also called AES.

Why have we chosen this standard ?
AES is an encryption standard destined to replace DES (Data Encryption Standard) which is now too old.

Specifications of AES
AES is a standard, so it is free and we can use it as we wish. AES is a symmetric encryption (like DES).
AES is a block cipher (like DES).

Compression
After encrypting a document, Safe Security System is able to compress the data encrypted, it is up to the user.
The compression process is not a loss-data compression.

Steganography
This process aims to hide informations in another information, SCube will be able to hide an encrypted text into an image.
