ABSTRACT
An embedded system is a special purpose computer system, which is completely encapsulated in the device it controls. It has specific requirements and performs pre-defined tasks.
However, embedded systems, which is designed to capture, store, manipulate and access data of a sensitive nature, provides several challenges.
Security has been the subject of intensive research in the area of cryptography, computing, and networking.
Concisely, security is often mis-construed by embedded system designers as the addition of features, such as specific cryptographic algorithms and security protocols, to the system. In reality, it is an entirely new metric that designers consider throughout the design process, along with other metrics such as performance, cost and power.
This project has been designed to restrict access to individual protected data and files in a networked system through the use of encryption and decryption methods of file protection. It is implemented using visual basic programming and notepad for text input and output.
