# Secure File Guard

Python application that provides secure storage with strong encryption and brute-force protection.

## Features

- AES-256 encryption with PBKDF2 key derivation for maximum security

- Strong password requirements with brute-force protection

- Protected file permissions and vault integrity verification

- Configurable security settings and storage locations

- Add, extract, and list files with encrypted metadata

- Comprehensive error handling and logging

## How It Works

- Creates an encrypted vault secured by your password and a unique salt

- Files are encrypted using AES-256 and stored in a secure container

- Password verification and key derivation ensure vault security

- All operations maintain file integrity and metadata security

- Files can be safely added to or extracted from the vault

## Requirements

- Python 3.8+

- `requirements.txt` includes all the required packages
