###Advanced Encryption Tool

Overview

The Advanced Encryption Tool is a Python-based project designed to securely encrypt and decrypt files using the Fernet (AES) encryption algorithm from the cryptography library. It ensures data confidentiality by converting sensitive files into unreadable formats and allows authorized users to decrypt them safely.

---

Features

• Generate a unique encryption key.
• Encrypt text or file data using Fernet encryption.
• Decrypt files safely with the original key.
• Prevent unauthorized access or data leaks.
• Simple and secure command-line interface.

---

Technologies Used

• Python
• Cryptography (Fernet module)
• File handling and I/O operations

---

How It Works

1. Generate an encryption key (encryption_key.key).
2. Use the encryption script to encrypt a file.
3. Store the encrypted file securely.
4. Use the decryption script with the same key to decrypt it.
