Secure Notes Application

Welcome to the Secure Notes Application repository! This project focuses on building a secure note-taking application using C# and Windows Forms. The application provides a login system and utilizes encryption techniques to store user information securely either locally or on a server. This project aims to explore various aspects of cybersecurity while providing a practical and user-friendly note-taking solution.

Features

1. User Authentication: The application includes a login system to authenticate users before accessing their secure notes.

2. Note Creation and Management: Once authenticated, users can create, view, edit, and delete their secure notes within the application.

3. Encryption and Security: The application employs encryption algorithms to secure user data, ensuring confidentiality and integrity. User information is protected from unauthorized access or tampering.

4. Local or Server Storage: Users have the option to store their secure notes locally on their device or on a remote server. This allows for flexibility and scalability based on user preferences.

Technologies Used

The Secure Notes Application is primarily developed using the following technologies:

• C#: The main programming language used to implement the application logic and user interface using Windows Forms.

• .NET Framework: The application leverages the .NET Framework for its robust development environment and access to libraries that provide security and encryption functionalities.

• Cryptography Libraries: Built-in cryptographic libraries in C# such as System.Security.Cryptography are utilized to handle encryption and decryption operations.

• Database (Optional): If you choose to store data on a server, a suitable database system such as MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server can be integrated to handle data storage and retrieval.
